Default Pitt fun in the sun

Jimbo (zzoomo6) almost here now, trailering his vette from Calorado (a new 418 by Pete Incaudo) and Ernie King (sixspeedvette) on his way in the morning from South Carolina with his 10.7 x a million Blue vette. We are all going to Gainesville on Saturday. Mark will be there as well in the Orange Crush (454 ci) and some of his friends from the Tampa area.

What a weekend at Pitts house...

The wheels are Fikse FM5's stock Z06 sizes front and rear.
Fronts have a 1" lip and rears a 2" lip great wheels and a couple pounds lighter than the stock wheels!

I was down a couple tenths plus...tranny may be slipping. 11.30, 11.49, 11.51.

Ernie was down a tenth, 10.81, 10.84, 10.86, 10.91

Jimbos 416 kept going into Reduced Power Mode and we didn't have a laptop to fix it. Reschedule for next Saturday.

Orange crush ran a load of low-low 12's

We had a blast. Will have some Video when Dan gets back to Alabama.
