Default New Best!

Thanks to the weather finally cooling off I managed a new best. Next i plan to go to Island dragway in a week or two and unbolt this crappy 2&1/4" exhaust and then see if it makes any difference, before i upgrade to a real 2.5" setup. :smash: I am car number 9048 in the left lane

I cant wait to see what the november weather brings :cheers:



This was at the Cartek Corvette Challenge yesterday. I hope to see and meet some more of you out there next time. Come on down, it is a lot of fun. :cheers:

here is my favorite pic from yesterday thanks to pats406nitrovette :cheers: :

Always nice to get a new best ET.

Didn't someone setup a heads up race with you on that run ? ;)

Congrats Aaron. You should see your car hook from the outside of it. It is nice. Try to arrange with someone to video tape it for you.

If that was your best time against Vic...my friend, you're in luck. I have the entire mpeg of you two burning out, then blasting down the strip. It's a little over 3.5 megs. Lemme know if your e mail can handle something that big, I'd be glad to send it.
