C3 Shark Tank

Well I finally decided to give the motor a little run and have some fun. Brutus, GrandsportC3, Monkeywrench were in attendance as well as a big group of other Florida Misfits. My first run sucked, that's the only way to put it, I was sleeping at the line and had a bad reaction time but made up for it the second time around but I definately need more practice :D and better tires than the 225/70-15's I just couldn't get traction off the line. Also need a little tranny adjusting.

Here's a couple pics of the fun I had showing my tires who's boss :D Posted links because the pics are large.

Burnout 1 Even though this run was bad I crushed the Firebird :D
Burnout 2
Corvettes West This car belongs to the guy I bought my 383 from, nice!
Group Pic
Staging Raced this Mustang, fast car but he only got me by a car length and if I would have reacted faster I would have been along side him.

Overall a fun day but some doofus blew his tranny and got 15 quarts of synthetic tranny fluid all over the track and kept going instead of pulling off. GrandsportC3 ran a 12.49 his first run out :cool: but I'll let him tell you all about his other runs :lol: I don't care about times really, I just had fun roasting the tires :D

Not too bad for the first time ever racing, and now that I've done it I'll go back for more, it was a blast! A little more tuning, better tires for sure and IF I don't sleep at the lights again :rolleyes: there should be an improvement.
