Black Friday Test Results Farks/ARH

Hey guys, we had a lot of fun at the black Friday test and tune at Atco. I could not believe how many 5th gen Camaro's and also camaro5 members were at the track.
The best run for us was a 9.55 @ 149. The car spun hard on all three runs, but still managed to pull out decent times. This was the last race of the season for us, and we have some big plans for it over the winter. Going to work on taking some weight out of the front and getting it to hook up (and maybe pull the front wheels). Our goal is to improve the weight distribution and get over 50% on the rear wheels.

Heres a video of the first pass, it blew the tires away and made a little move for the center.

Nice Run.....looked like you were staged out of the groove right from the start. A car that fast....I would have someone work with you on the line and make sure you are lined up perfectly.

Agreed! Out of the groove, at least 1/2 way!

But, yes, very nice RUN!

We cant thank you guys enough for helping us out at Indy. The way this new trans shifts is awesome!


Yea we were slightly out of the groove, needed to be a couple inches over to the left. I wish I had a video of the second run, the track was definitely much better in the afternoon.

You guys might've given up a full tenth on that launch, :( nice pass otherwise though.
I was there for the evening session only and was able to find some traction once I got the tire pressures right.

George, Congrats on getting your Comp license last Friday. I wish I could've been there to share in the whole experience. The fun is only just beginning. This winter should be interesting to say the least.

Nick
