I Unleashed The Pace Car
After running 6 rounds in the Street Wars. I was told if I wanted to make a full pass I would have to come back to the lanes after the run QUICKLY. I was the last car to go down the 1/4 mile in elimination's. Last round was at 8:35pm and my next run was at 8:40pm for my full pass. This is the way it was for the last three rounds in elimination's - Round Robin. I only had time to check the tires and that was it. No time to even change the dial. I left the dial the same = 13.62. I ran this number three times back to back. Amazing how the car runs when it is not running in the Corvette Challenge. 
My Reaction Time in the final was .211. I was sitting at the starting line spinning the tires. I was at 5,500 rpms and I was not moving. I actually had smoke comeing inside the car. I lost 3 tenths in my 60 foot. Track conditions were not well. I also did not do a good burnout due tothe lack of water. Well the guy I was racing never got out of it and broke out
I was 3 car lengths behind him to see that his win light did not come on. I also hit the brakes to make sure there was no way of breaking out. 
I went 14.30 on a 13.62 dial.
After the final I drove very quickly to the lanes, Did what I had to do to let the car run fast. I hit the tree with a
R/T .050
60 FT 1.942
330 5.443
1/8 8.297
MPH 86.43
1000 10.765
1/4 12.852
MPH 108.33
This run was after running 3 passes with in 25 minutes.
Needless to say, This winter the Vette is getting a make over.

Maybe I will see you there. This track is really good for low numbers in the winter. At least I will be good to 11.50
