Default Bonestock C5 Z06 11.84 @ 117.91

New Personal Best 12/1/07 ATCO
The air was magical. The track prep varied from cold and slick at first to very sticky after the sun and cars warmed the surface to variable, depending on who you followed or how much down time there was. I used Ranger's technique of hot lapping if the coolant temperature was okay. (192 F) Timeslip to be posted later on.

Year of the Z06 2004
Tires used on the pass Stock F1 SC
Performance Mods (if any). None
Which catagory Bonestock
60'............. 1.761
330'........... 4.990
660'........... 7.645
660’ mph... 93.12
1000'......... 9.923
1320'.......... 11.844
1320’ mph… 117.91
Comments: Atco; Cold, 37 F, 10-15 mph near head on wind. Density Altitude, (Unknown) Tire Pressure 26 psi. Clutch release @ 3500 rpm.

Thanks and you are right. You showed me that this works also but please show me the sand technique so I may cut a few more tenths.

CONGRATS GARY!

It was nice meeting you again today! Car is flying and you are doing an awesome job getting it down the track.

Manual LSx cars always run best when hot lapped, I have always hot lapped my car to get a new best.

Alex,
Good to see you again. (I think your girlfriend would prefer warmer weather.) Thanks.

Very nice passes.

Thank you. You have one bad a$$ ride. (Thank was until you got tossed. I think they over reacted.)

Marc,
Good to see you. As you said, "I should have brought my car."
Thanks for your tips.


Thanks to everyone else for your kind words.
