Houston Area Vettes
I just thought I would post up some threads to see if anyone in the area is interested in a little track time at Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown on Friday the 13th 
. So far, it looks like there will be a small group of us meeting up out there including my FRC, a C5Z, '06 C6, '00 SS, a '11 Mustang, and a '70 Mach 1.
Should be some of the very limited cool air we get in Houston, and a good opportunity to meet some more gearheads.

Looks like a few of my friends are bringing some of their imports. They are all good people, but maybe y'all will be able to have some fun and set them straight on the whole import vs domestic ordeal

so how did everyone do? I smoked my clutch my first run and didn't run again. My buddy with the '11 5.0 with intake, headers, exhaust, and tune ran a best of 12.18 @ 116 and my other buddy with a 06 z06 with cold air intake and a tune ran a best of 11.47 @ 128, he couldnt get traction in first. I will be getting a new clutch soon. I don't get it, my car only has 24k miles. I think a few of us are going again this Friday.

. My Dad did a 12.0x @ 118 in his '06 C6, taking it easy for first pass with the ET Streets and then didn't go again because of all the ridiculous delays from drivers being idoits out there. I'm looking at doing this combo purchase from Tick/Monster with a level 3, to replace everything down there. Haven't decided 100% though. http://www.tickperformance.com/tick-...-corvette-z06/

I'm in the same boat!! A day and a half later, and my garage still has the faint smell of burnt clutch. I waited over 1.5hrs in the staging lanes before getting to make a first run... the ET Streets hooked, and the clutch didn't. I pedaled it down the track for a 12.46 @ 119, but the engine speed was floating up/down/up/down the entire way haha .
