Ohh I know it is bad and that is actual altitude. Throw in a full tank of gas my big **** my prostetic (close to 20 lbs) my crap in the car (about 50 lbs) my race weight was around 3650 lbs.

 

Oh man, makes even more sense then.
I carry a few extra medical toys (forearm crutches/leg braces) with me as well so I can definitely relate there LOL.
That is a heavy raceweight and I'm betting that is quite hot out with a low barometer as well when you ran...taking a random stab at it, I'm thinking it was a DA of around + 7000 feet and that you might've actually been racing in some of the worse track, weight and air quality conditions ever recorded for a C6 Corvette LOL.

 

58 Degrees 24.11 absolute baramoter and I actually had my crutches and my leg cast and extra liner in the car. The leg cast is about 45 lbs. I just forgot to take it out before and I didn't want it to get damaged if I left it out.

 

The temps weren't too bad but that barometer is horribly low, is that number actually correct, 24.11?
Ouch.

 

Never seen a baro that low here in Houston. And if he sat idling awhile with factory tuning then a good possibility of a lot of timing retard. Maybe not so bad a pass after all with the conditions and weight.

 

 

Went to Rockingham tonight, here's my best run:
60ft:2.010
330:5.389
1/8:8.047
MPH:92.75
1000:10.319
1/4:12.202
MPH:120.07

This pass was the best in all catagories, which says something of my dissapointment, but on a bright note, the car was about 1 MPH faster than my previous track trip, and 2-3 MPH faster than my first time in Jan. Track temp was 120degrees on the run listed, air temp 95degrees,humidity was 50% and barometer was falling.To put things in perspective, a stock 04 Z06 ran mid 13's all night @ 112MPH, which by the way, my wife's Charger SRT8 ran a 13.51 @ 104.38 w full tank of gas and all our crap in it.Traction and temp. was killing everybody tonight. I have no doubts a set of dr's would put me in the 11's easily, as my old TA ran 11.4's @120-121 which is only 1 MPH more than my runs tonight. Maybe I need to wait for better tires before I go back, or wait til cold weather. Heck, at that Richmond track, I might turn 10's

 

nice run for that 60 ft. you need tires. wait till cool weather now

 

Had a good air night DA 3000 feet!

Good air + a great 1.7 60' = 11.5 at 122

This was done on a privite airstrip at the above location. Put it in Google Earth and you can see it.

4:10 gears, LG cam, headers,x pipe, high flow cats, LG tune, varraram, underdrive pullys, t-stat. Z06 size tires, Thanks Paul

 

great times Paul. what kind of timing equipment do they use. we use to run on maguire air force base

 

Which cam? Rwhp/tq?

 

Nice run. What equipment was used to measure the ET and trap speed?

TIA,

Ranger

 

Not familiar with the equipment they used but it used a beam of light like the safety beam on a garage door opener.

432 RWP and 398 TQ with 4:10 gears. Big lopey LG cam, they don't give the specs.

 

paul what tires and rims did you use or does it have a widebody kit. looks like you need mods and a cam to run as good as a zo6

 

I have a large LG cam, Long tube headers, x pipe, high flow cats, GHL sports, under drive pulleys, varraram , t stat, LG Motorsport wheels with Z06 size tires and 4:10 gears and I hit the rev limiter as soon as I triped the beam. With 432 RWP I have more HP than a stock Z06. Pretty sure its the rejex wax that did the trick though

 

now i cant wait to get a cam

 

Dennis

cam = even faster ET = Sir please refrain from racing on this track until you get a roll cage......
