Thanks Cartek crew
 
Julio and gang had a couple of spots open for me to slip in and test a couple of cars out today at their Atco rental, I appreciate the invite and had a great time.

Thanks :cheers:

Sorry I missed it. Thanks for the invite.

It was a fun day at the track for sure, good seeing ya there Doug and I didn't get a chance to congratulate you on nailing that 9 second pass with only minutes to spare. :cheers:
That car still has more in it too if these damn A6/6L80s would just cooperate LOL. :D

Among some of the other cars there were some fine new personal bests run throughout the day (of particular note for me is dennis50nj's C6 LS2 NA heads & cam pass at 10.35@132mph) and only one or two other (minor) breakages so all in all the day was a success. :steering:

Were you allowed to do any tuning? I Remember a little while ago; you were going to attend a rental to tune one of your customers vehicles and then deciding not to go because all you could do is spectate. :lol:

Congrats on the 9 second pass! Must of been a happy moment! :thumbs:
I know I would have been.

Congrats Dennis!
Nice job on the 10.35. I noticed the BP was about 30.35. Do you know what the DA was? What about a video and time slip?

The air was definitely good, not the best I've ever seen but certainly enough to extract plenty out of a car if one could overcome the cold surface (traction) issues.
The videos of Dennis's car aren't online yet but here are his three best time slips (so far ;)), quite similar to Ellis's best:

It was only .012 quicker then your car Artie, but you are a couple of mph faster with your ls3.
