Default C4 wins!

It was a day when all the stars were aligned and things went well. I won the Pro ET bracket of our third Summit ET series race Saturday. The car was deadly consistent with 6 rounds all between 10.41 and 10.44 (lifting). Lights were good; all .025 or better (with a .001 in the fourth round) except for one horrible sleeper light against the orange pumpkin in the video. Fortunately he went red That's where the aligned stars come into play! It was a fun day. If only I can get the C7Z to run as consistent and launch as hard. Hope you all had a wonderful Easter. Here are a few videos...

That's awesome, do you have a build thread on this car anywhere? I'd be interested in reading it.

Thanks all. I promise not post my first round runner up days! Don't really have a build thread. I bought this car new in 84 and it's been an evolution from a crossfire, to a carbed 383, then a SuperRam, and now a 406 with a miniram. Some parts are listed in my signature.

Thanks for posting the video, she hooks up great off the line.
Really like the back of your Vette disappear in a flash on the last video,
can see why you have turned the heavy duty race prepped D44 rear gears to scrap metal..

Keep up the good work, showing C4's can be damn quick.
