40 Year lay off
Took my stock 2019 Z51 to our West Texas 1/8 mile track sat. night. I "use to be" pretty completive with a 10 second 1/4 mile bracket car 40 years ago so for ***** and grins I took my 19 Z51 with street tires to our 1/8 mile track last Sat. night. It was 92 degrees hot and dry at 8 PM there were not many cars mostly kids with street cars. I talk some chit in staging lanes about real 10 second 1/4 bracket racing 40 years ago.
Bad *** me on my first trip I over shot staging beams by 6-8 feet had to back up. My reaction time was embarrassing, 60 foot time was way slow, ET was way slow speed was fast for the slow ET. ET should have been a full second faster for speed ran.
Second pass was the same. I just stayed on return road and left the track too embarrassed to hang around. No time slips made it home. So contrary to the song I am not as good as I once was. Car is capable I am not.
