We took the car to a test-n-tune to confirm some suspension issue before we make a change with the rear shocks and managed to run a little quicker with the ls6. The car felt good otherwise.
The air also was good and so were the track conditions for a slow Sunday.
It might go a bit quicker when the suspension is ironed out.

This is a prime example of what a lot of people fail to realize.....the "package" is just as important as hp, or at least as equally important.

Congrats....Im scared to ask whats going in after the tnt of the chassis and suspension....got a feeling the beast is gunna be movin out !!

Don't know either but the car is significantly lightened and the DA was good.

For once I actually have the slips. Gary was in a world of pain but still came out to help out and left me the slips. Props to Gary for supporting the team when he could barely walk.

1.542
4.352
6.663 @ 106.39
8.66
10.35@131.42

I also went 10.46 on a 1.695 60'.
