RB runs a new best

I just ran a new best in the N/E Corvette Challenge at ETown. Temp was mid 50s, DA was -156 feet. Car has 6000 miles and my mods include a VR airbox and minor LS1Edit tweaks. Tires are the OEM Eagle F1 SC.

Outstanding run, RB.

Reducing that 60' just a bit will put you in the 11s.

What was your launch rpm? Tires pressure in the rears was?

Suspect that Atco's superior prep would put you there.

Ross, I thought you were going to take it easy on your car. Looks like you are getting aggressive.

Good times. You will be in the 11's.

Congrats!!

Re: RB runs a new best (rbartick)

Ross that time is awesome. You pulled a 1.9 60ft on a track that was as slick as ice. Congrats on the new best and maybe you will sneak into the 11s before the year is over.
