Default Finally a new best.....

Finally had the car in one peice for the good fall air. 11.19@124.75/1.66-60'

Not bad since besides the drag radials ans sway bar removel this is how it is driven on the street and roadcourse. Maybe with skinnys and ET streets it would run a 10. hmmm

Thanks again Edgar and all the Corvette Challenge helpers and sponsers for another fun year even though I only made a few races this year.

Congrats on a great run.
I have some relatives in WilksBarre.
Is it true that Cheetos are known as WilksBarre cocktail shrimp or were they yanking my chain?

Sorry I missed it Rich. I think I probably could have hit a low 12 had I been able to come.
