First time at the track

Well today I ran my vette at the track in Bethany Missouri. They had a test and tune day. I have never raced at a strip before. I had a blast. I think I did pretty good considering it was my first time and the humidity was killer. I need to get a better reaction time but oh well.

As long as you had fun and can drive it home after, it's a good day at the track.

Have a feeling you'll be spending more time at the track - sounds like you are hooked.

Remember Safety is priority #1. ALways wear a helmut. Did you see the post of the C6 that crashed during the 1st day of the CI7? He was not wearing a helmut. Hit is head pretty good and was unable to drive his car home! BE CAREFUL!!
