Default ARE to the track

First time to Capital last week and managed a best 12.14 @ 124.23mph on Run Flats with 2.05 60'. I need better tires. :yesnod: Also met some cool forum guys with tricky cars. Big Fun :cheers:

Sir Sel, Was happy to meet you and watch your car run so well on that sorry surface at Capitol last Friday.

Here's a thread to a recap of the night:

I guess you ought to head down to MIR, an IHRA track where you can do 11.5 without the cage etc. Stay away from Cecil County. It's well prepped but NHRA and strictly enforced. Not sure how tight it will be on the All Corvette Day there, Oct 20th.

Sel,

Your car is awesome. It was great meeting you.

I went by Tony's Saturday and he told me you had already been by.

We gotta get you some ET Streets. :D

Thanks guys. October 20 at Cecil sounds like fun. Count me in. A special thanks to Nick Agostino (ARE) and his professional and friendly staff for building a great package. Nick believes in his work and stands behind it which solidifies his reputation. Definately worth the trip to Canada.

Great numbers first time out!

With a set of sticky tires you'll be deep in the 11's:D
