Awesome night tonight, but the trans is still shifting terribly. Delivered torq is low on the NOS runs.
First run was 10.26 at 120.5MPH, had to let out of it because the *** end got light - wish I could've stayed in this one!
Second run was 10.17 at 140.2MPH, less than 1/10th difference and 20MPH?! haha
Last run was 10.13 at 139MPH
60' 1.44
1/8th 6.58 at 107MPH
1/4th 10.13 at 138.97MPH
Looks like I'm still wearing this shirt for the weekend lol

Shaved a little more off my all motor time too, but not much. I need to get that 60' into the 1.4s to get this where it needs to be.
60' 1.539
1/8 6.919 @ 102.51
1/4 10.749 @ 129.31

You'll have to dust off your racing gloves one of these weekends. Sorry I haven't had a lot of time to chat. Trying to sort this out and always short on time.

Great to have cool weather but humidity though the roof!! These C7's are unreal, Ive run quite a few Chevrolets since 1967 at Richmond, never had a stock car that runs as good and draws as many admirers.

Hey wFarmer.....what did I tell you "don't be surprise whereas you do better with the stock tires". That moves you up to 2nd place.

Greetings to all C7 fast list races - your efforts are amazing. I have an anniversary 427 for cruising with my wife but want to get into the C7 drag racing. Being old school I thought the manual tranny would be the only way to go but now with both the 6-speed and 8-speed automatics I am wrong as well as impressed. I really think everyone is doing great with the different classes with my greatest interest in Bone Stock as it represents the corvette Chevrolet built.
So, as a newbie I have a few questions: Back in the day the NHRA had classes for both manual and auto - should this be a new class? Something for the Forum to debate.
Also, with (my limited) technical knowledge it seems the new 8-speed auto with the Z-51 rear end ratio may be the ultimate Bone Stock Racer. Thus the question: should there be two automatic classes?
Please realize I find the racing absolute a thrill to read as well as watch!! Not trying to interfere with a great racing effort, just curious. Hopefully everyone understands, each year (almost) Corvette develops an even better/faster car - so do we just keep buying a new car or have multiple racing classes? I must be honest, wanting and purchasing more than one corvette at a time is beyond my means! Having one great Corvette is doable. Thanks for reading and providing any feedback!!
