Default Shakedown Pass-Cammed C6 LS3!

Hello forum members. I don't do much posting on here, but enjoy browsing and learning from you all. I myself love drag racing and love to look at corvettes drag racing. I figured I'd share a vid of my first shakedown pass in my vette I've owned for about 2 years, and just began to mod. Of course not the best pass, but is worth a look and LISTENI think...turn speakers up please!
Description of mods in the vid. Video made and recorded by my wife.

Nice run. You actually run in the rain?

Thanks. It was misting all morning, the track waited a couple of hours for the rain to stop, but kept misting..so they let a few street cars run. I did that run while lightly misting, but after that run, it full out rained. So the event was cancelled to another rain date. I was surprised on how well it hooked even in the mist. It was a pretty decent track prep though.

Ok I remember seeing you. Nice ride too. I wish I could've made it, but had to work. I know you guys had fun. How did you do in the quarter? Was the track prepped good?

prep was decent. ended up getting down to 11.23 @ 127.5 with a 1.739 60'....on motor. Placed 3rd in the Dragging Rights Manual Trans Shoot Out.

I know it has more in it if I can get a good 60' I know 10s NA will happen.
