Default Track day

So our local Club , Cape Fear Corvettes had a track day today and im happy to say i vastly improved my times over my last run at the track...

started out at a 13.6 and as the track and day warmed (started runnin at like 43 degrees) i ended up with a best of

12.24 with a 60ft of 1.82 @ 115.2

i was consistently cutting RTs of .53 - .65

made a great pass till i missed a gear but my 60ft was a 1.79 with a light of .56 so i think she has better in her, maybe a 12.1X? what do u fellas think? this is my second time running the car.

mods are stingers,CAI, SSK, Tune and Nitto DRs

I think you meant RT's (reaction time).

Your ET was 12.24 (by the way, great time for no more runs than you have...).
