Very cool. It sounded like the announcer said the time was 9 something at 140+, impressive air time on the front wheels. Nice strong run there, what are the build specs?
One thing about that track. The first half is uphill. It's not a super fast track. With a manual tranny car you can roll backwards off the line. I have spent many weekends at that trck watching and racing on the test and tune days.
I have a question. How long have you owned that car?
About 13 years ago I went to BSD and a guy was running a white, auto, C4. He was running high 13s at just over 100 mph. Me, being a huge Vette fan, asked the owner and the car had 3.07 gears and I believe a mini ram or Lingenfelter intake. That wouldn't happen to be you, was it?

Haha. Yes that was me! Had stock motor, Super ram. That motor had bad rings upon tear down. Had to be a factory problem because every one came out in many pieces. Never leaked oil, just not good compression. Put 406ci motor in ran 11.0s, then put 434 in ran 9.8s, and this is a 555 bbc and it ran in video 9.23@144mph. I've had the car for 15 plus years since graduating college.
I build the solid axle conversions which is in the car. This motor is around 900hp.

Haha, small world! You probably don't remember me doing that. I was devilsihly handsome, though, that sticks with people. Hahah j/k
A friend of mine owns a house just a few miles from the track. He bought it just to have a place to stay in weekends. He has a mostly stock Ram Air T/A that he races.
