Default Track T&T day

Looking for 10.30's (NOT).
Car is outfitted with an AFE-1 C.A.I. running the dry 'Low Flow' gray air filter and MT 305/35/18 'stock height' drag radials on China chrome clone 18X12 heavy wheels. On my bath scale the 18" wheel/tire set-up actually weighs "approx." 1 lb. more per wheel/tire than the factory silver painted 20X12 wheel and MPSS run flat. The 11/4/18 slip below is missing a 1.53 60' time that I have done a number of times before on both the stock wheel/tire setup and the drag radial setup (not as many 1.53's on the drag radial set-up) So I may bolt the factory rear tire/wheel 'bald' setup back on for another try next week if the weather is as nice or better than it was today.

Your car is moving C7/Z06 Man for the minor mods you have. Do you guys rent MIR? I'm looking for track rentals there so I can run my car at a great track with great air.

Yes, it's an A8 on the stock tune.

That's a serious time. I remember back in the late 80s or early 90s there was a magazine feature on a street car that ran 10s and it was just a monster on alcohol. Quite a departure!

MIR is a great track and usually with good air late in the season where a lot of records are set. I am in no club, etc. that does track rentals.

However when I had my daily driven air conditioned street (no cage) turbocharged V6 Buick below I found out from a Buick guy I know that they set up a rental at MIR for 10/7/2011 which they let me participate in. I had trouble getting traction on the MT street drag radials but if I came out at ZERO boost (easy) I did get it to hook up a couple of times that day.
