Had our first track event of the year last weekend, thought I would share some of the videos. First one is the dragstrip last year, 2 and 3 of the SCCA event last weekend. None of us that ran last weekend had done this before and it was definitely worht it! The kids were running the camera so forgive the shakiness!

Nice Videos, good to see folks using the cars the way they are intended to be used. Its too much fun NOT too.

FYI, the 2nd Video whomever is driving the first bit of the video in the C6, its not a sunday drive, BOTH hands on the wheel, once your in 2nd, no need to shift again.

If you run a Corvette, be prepared to spin, you WILL spin.

Both the C6's were taking it easy their first lap, except for when he got on it and spun. I took the different route and broke loose in every turn of my first lap. But of course the kids weren't paying attention so have no video of that one! We all got progressively quicker throughout the runs of the day except my spin happened on my 5th run with the wife in the car Hoping to have our first drag strip event of the year soon. Last year my best was against the Mustang in the first video 14.2 et and 96 MPH. Had a bad MAF sensor then so not sure if that really affects anything at WOT? Since then have fixed the MAF and over the winter added TPIS Big Mouth lower and runners with opened up plenum, new injectors, and underdrive pulleys so interested in seeing how that might have helped!

I would guess you will be around 13.5et. Are you guys running at New River or Cherry Point? Surprised the Corp would allow that, but that is cool that they do. Good Luck , look'n good. Ooh Rah

The SCCA event was at Cherry Point, they used to run them at New River as well but haven't in a few years. Drag strip is Coastal Plains in Jacksonville.
