New best for me yesterday with a 1.69 60' time. Not too shabby for a stock LT1 with a gear swap and 2800 converter.

Lots of folks ran a new best yesterday and we had some fun watching the Pro 8 guys strut their stuff.

lowets(Mike) did a demonstration of what his car does when launched with the trans brake. If he didn't have wheelie bars, I think he probably could have flipped the car over.

Thanks to the long distance guys(ski dwn it,Corkvette and SEEYAA) and especially Keith Valone(spltwindo) coming all the way from FLA to run with us.

Keith took the win in the Vette Doctors Pro 8 and Rick(SEEYAAA) took the win in the brackets.

Another banner C4 day.

Way to go Mr. Mojo, and all!

Just a thought - why haven't you thought about LT Headers on your car, or some other minor tweaks?

Ya, possibly low 12's with a full exhaust and still stock motor. Could be pretty (of course it does make the competition feel a lot worse when you tell them that they just lost to a stock Vette with a gear swap)

Awesome Launch

I've thought about it, but the less I mess with, the more reliable it remains.

I've driven this car to South Carolina, raced all weekend, and then drove home.

One day I will do more mods to it, but for now I'm leaving it alone, got a few other plans and things to take care of first.
