Congrats to Mike Mitchell and his 8-Second C4 on winning the PRO-8 .

[STEALTH 99 C5]

I don't know if Mike follows this board but his Black C4 is one bad-azz 8-second ride . I met him down at Atco a few years ago and I've been telling him to come to the Challenges and he finally made it and came and dominated . I think he will have more competition next time when the VetteDrs race car has nitrous on it .

[Major Spray]

Man that SAND BAGGER had one sick car. I thought it was going to be a tight feild when I herd that he quilified with a 9.40. Then I found out that it was at 120mph he let off at the 1/8 not to show his cards. How ironic that a black C4 shows up and dominates on a day set to honor Keith Brownlee. A guy that dominated the quick 4 with his wheel standing C4. It was a great event. Congrats to all the Racers

Time to step it up

Carmen it sounds like you guys had a great time . I cant wait till the Sept. race i will be there with everything i can put into my car and hope it sticks to the ground. are you going to have a weight limit or can we just start throwing things away . Well congrats to the winner and everyone who ran. great job Carmen

Anyone have a video of his 8.8 at 159. That was a pretty sick run

[Carmen@TheVetteDoctors]

Keith
That feller Mike came loaded for bear. He clean our clock.
We just took our best & it was not good enough. We usually don't have much competition. We wind up racing our self's. I am glad to see some big dogs come out to play. Can't wait to run you & Rick in September. I think Mike will bring his Bad as-s C4 & will have a blast.
We pulling the motor on Johns car making some changes and adding the juice. See u in September

Boy that line make me want to sing.

Does anyone else run trans-brakes? Can we take a poll on using them at the next pro 8?

Mike

The guy's that run C5's are unable to run a transbrake or a two step. No one makes one for our setups so that would be a big advantage to the guy's that don't need it. You did just fine with out it

paul, how come their not allowed to run a transbrake if you allow stick cars to run in this competition? letting go of the transbrake button is the same as dumping a clutch... are there seperate classes for sticks and autos? or do you all run each other?

[Major Spray]

First off I don't make the rule's but in my opinion every setup has advantages and disadvantages. Yes a stick car may have a advantage out of the hole but an auto will be much more cosistant its a fair trade off. Again this is my opinion I think we will be see more rules and classes as the event grows.

i didnt say you wrote the rules i was asking you if stick cars are allowed to run same class[seeing as how you answered the question on trans brakes]and if they were what would be the difference if someone ran a clutch or a trans brake, also they make 2 steps for ls1 camaro,s would that be different for a corvette as it plugs into coil packs, its made by someone name Harllen maybe it will work on a vette, just in case someone wanted to try a 2step or they have heard of him. i just got one for my formula,

[Gus]

Harlan's two step will not work for Corvettes. The Camaros have a button behind the brake pedal which the two step splices on. But when there's a will, there's a way.

[mackeyred96]

Bobby, the rules were put in place to help control the growth and the cost of the technology in this class.

I've got racers in the 10.+ ET range bitchen to me that I've allowed to much technology now and that the car are going way to fast for the orginal intent of the class.

This class was started to allow our tuner/sponsors an outlet to show their level of performance and thats what I have tried to allow them to do.

yea i had to rewire it for my formula,because it a 98 and i had to change my trans brake to have switched ground so it could work the 2 step as it worked off ground instead of power, like u say where theres a will theres a way bob

Congratulations Mike and welcome to the forum
