C6Z06 Bone-Stock on Stock Tires--11.34 at 127.13
Spur of the moment this afternoon, decided to try to make some passes at Cecil County Dragway in Rising Sun, Maryland. Their version of Friday Night Non-Street Racing. So lot of cars, mainly young drivers. Crowd was about 150 cars racing and 500 more spectators.
Weather was around 50 degrees and it had been cloudy all day and threatening showers, that never materialized. I measured the DA on my first run at a positive 100 feet.
Track official warned me during Tech Inspection that the 11.50 rule would be enforced; guess the C6Z06 rep is getting around. I walked both lanes to the 660' traps and found the base rubber was decent but devoid of any VHT-stickiness. So I expected modest traction and adjusted accordingly.
I ran the car bone-stock on stock tires. Zero mods. Front tires were at 30 psi and the rears I set to 27 psi. Cooled the car for 45 minutes after the two-hour trip thru Friday traffic. Hit the staging lights at about 185 degrees (H2O).
Here are the slip times on the best of two passes:
60'........1.853 (launch rpm 3000 with a fast release and progressive throttle squeeze)
330'......4.964
660'......7.461 @ 100.52
1000'.....9.569
1320'...11.345 @ 127.13
I had a significant amount of wheel spin on the 1-2 shift but much less on the 2-3 and 3-4. And managed to get the shift points very close to 7000, which was my target. Did some lift on the shifts but they were very fast. Been practicing that every day.
Believe with some better traction on the 1-2 shift there is room for improvement, same for the 60'. But tonight it felt pretty good and my shifts were better than on the previous 12 passes in the car.
Tried a second pass before heading home for dinner. 11.50 @ 127.14. Unfortunately, got too aggressive with the throttle and spun the launch to a 2.03 60'. Rest of the run was fine, and was 4 hundredth faster in the 330'-1320' than the 11.34 pass, based on better shift points.
No warning. No boot. Cecil is still open for me.
All in all, a good evening of non-street racing.
Best to all,
Ranger

Ranger,
nice job driving! 62 miles on the car, rain and no track open yet=

Nice run Ranger. You are certainly a talented driver. Those dang things are pretty fast out of the box. I never thought 6 months ago anyone was going to see 127 traps but I guess I was very wrong.
