Hey Spider, thanks for stopping by to introduce yourself yesterday at Sacramento Raceway. It is nice to put a face to your forum handle.

Even though I had a good time yesterday (and set a new personal best MPH (136 @ 11.05), I don't know if I will attend this event again. We were there when they started making passes at 3PM and didn't leave until 9pm and only got to make 4 passes. There were a ton of cars there with ~95% being import tuner cars. Other than us 3 South Valley Corvette club guys, I think that I only saw 1 or maybe 2 other Corvettes running their cars. The good news is that they will let '08 and newer Corvettes run down to 10.00 without a roll bar. I'm hoping they will have the same rules for the Corvette Magic event in October.

I usually have better results on the regular wednesday nights. If you get there when racing starts at 5 you can usually get around 7-15 runs in depending on how many people are there. Gone 10.50s with just the fire jacket and helmet with no issues.

I didnt end up racing due to the long waits to race. Im not patient enough for that on a hot day.

Yeah, I don't blame you for not racing yesterday due to the long waits between runs. I wish that I were as close to Sac as you in order to go there on Wednesday nights. It took us 2.5 hours to get there from Gilroy with "light" traffic yesterday. On a Wednesday evening it would take 3.5 to 4 hours to get there with commute traffic.
