Default first time out at the track...

out of 4 runs, i had 3 runs at 107.41mph, 107.62, 107.39 and one run at 105.38

my best et was 13.642!!!!!!! :crazy: :confused: :confused: :nonod: :sad:

my 60' were TERRIBLE....2.517, 2.585, 2.636, 2.606

it had rained that morning, and i dont think they had dried the track enough.... there were ZO6s that were doing lousy too with mid to low 13s.
I could not hook up whatsoever... and, the fact that my stock RUNCRAPS were pretty much worn down to the wear bar indicators did not help either.

With that said, what kind of times could i possibly realize if i had better 60' times, considering the MPH that i was getting?

I just went for my first time yest. at Byron,IL.

I have the 2.73 gears and my RunCraps are all at 4/32........and I'm totally stock (no aftermarket anything).

4 runs and my best was 13.7, best 60' 2.18 and r/t of .785

It had rained the night before and I couldn't get the tires to grip either. I did see other C5 w/ air inlet mod, new tires and the 3.18 get a 12.94 so its possible.
