Default First time at the track

Went out lastnight to Norwalk drastrip and took 3 passes, and had 2 of my friends run, too (in an F-150 and a Taurus!!!) It was a local test and tune night, and it was one of the most fun things I've ever done

I was right lane. Not too shabby for a stock corvette first time out.

You should try this again after you complete your near term mods.

I would love to do that in my area (SW Wisconsin). How much does this cost? Do you recommend some sort of safety check list?

$12. Safety checklist only if you're in the 9's.

Yes, I'm planning on going again after the motor buildup, and see how big of an improvement it really is.

Reason i ask is that I am considering the same mods to my car that you are planning. I wasn't going to do this until the winter.
