Default Thanks Cartek crew

Julio and gang had a couple of spots open for me to slip in and test a couple of cars out today at their Atco rental, I appreciate the invite and had a great time.

Thanks

It was a fun day at the track for sure, good seeing ya there Doug and I didn't get a chance to congratulate you on nailing that 9 second pass with only minutes to spare.
That car still has more in it too if these damn A6/6L80s would just cooperate LOL.

Among some of the other cars there were some fine new personal bests run throughout the day (of particular note for me is dennis50nj's C6 LS2 NA heads & cam pass at 10.35@132mph) and only one or two other (minor) breakages so all in all the day was a success.

Were you allowed to do any tuning? I Remember a little while ago; you were going to attend a rental to tune one of your customers vehicles and then deciding not to go because all you could do is spectate.

Congrats Dennis!
Nice job on the 10.35. I noticed the BP was about 30.35. Do you know what the DA was? What about a video and time slip?

The air was definitely good, not the best I've ever seen but certainly enough to extract plenty out of a car if one could overcome the cold surface (traction) issues.
The videos of Dennis's car aren't online yet but here are his three best time slips (so far ), quite similar to Ellis's best:

It was only .012 quicker then your car Artie, but you are a couple of mph faster with your ls3.
