CA Speedway bad day for the Camaro

[SRT10KLLR]

I went to the track(Auto Club Dragway in California) yesterday in the Silverado the only two Camaro's racing that I saw were giving the M6's a bad rap. A Blue one went 15's at the Black one went 14.4. I just saw a post about a member here that went and ran a 13.5 in a A6 so that helps.

BTW, I ran 13.7 in the Silverado on my first pass with the street tires.

I was thinking about going down there to try my stock L99 before doing any mods. What kind of wait times were involved and how many runs did you get in ? Any general tips/info you can present as well would be appreciated. I have never been to a real 1/4 strip before, in high school we just had some country road and marked the 1/4 with paint and raced out there. thanks.

Wait times were terrible. I only managed to get two runs in. There were a lot of people there plus a few that broke down and it was a little hot too. Most of the week was cool then come race day we warmed up, lol.

Bring a helmet, pants(no shorts, tank tops, sandals allowed) and be prepared to have some fun.

If you are stock then take TC off, put it in M(Sport mode) and let it shift on its own then roll into the throttle until you almost brake the tires loose. You will not know how fast you can lay into the throttle until you do it and spin. Some times the prep is better so every day is a little different.

Too bad you did not make it. They will be open again at the end of this month so prepare now. If you want to practice go to Irwindale on Thursday's. It is a 1/8 mile track but you can practice your launch. If you go let me know and I may be able to meet you.

According to a DA calculator it was a +3023 DA day.

Hey guys I was there I managed a 13.2 in my G8 GT A6. I recommend you Socal Camaros to go to a local 1/8 track to practice your launches. Hey practice makes perfect guys hope to see more of you guys 12/5 GM UP!!

[SRT10KLLR]

Yeh, I saw you there along with another G8(Purple/Blue) color. Those are some good times. How did the other G8 do?

[familycaronROIDS!]

The purple one did a 13.7 CAI and tune
Gray one did 13.3 with CAI,tune & headers
Orange one did 13.2 with CAI,tune and 3.45gears
White one did 13.4 with CAI and tune
Silver one did 14.1 bone stock

Air conditions bad but OK overall.. Alot of V8's which is good.

You and the Orange one were the fastest G8's there. I thought I saw the Purple one driving down the return lane instead of down the track like maybe something happened or they did not let him run.

He was wearing shorts so he went back to the pits to put on pants .

He wasn't the only one. Another guy had to go to the local Walmart to buy pants, lol.

Here is a pic of your buddies G8:

it's a bummer to see people running 14/15s with their SS's.....

[Dave Coyle]

I can't believe that you are running that slow with all those mods. Must be the difference in the air compared to Michigan. We are running very low12's with CAI, Kooks 1 7/8 headers, Corsa exhaust and custom dyno tune and this is with a 6A L99.

Fontana is a shitty as track...like...really...really REALLY shitty.

Tell me about it. People are going to start thinking they all run that that.

I am not sure who you are referring to. I have run 12.95 in the Camaro and that day I ran 13.7 in my Silverado(pictured below). I was posting about the Camaro's I saw that day that were running let's just say not ideally.

True that. That day the DA was at +3000.

Here is a pic of my little burnout:

Yeah but if you were in California you would probably be in the 13's like everyone else.

If your reffering to my car Im sure if I were in Michigan I would be in the 12's too. Last time I checked you guys have cooler weather up there .

Even in our forum G8boards there are some G8's in the east coast running 13.0-13.1 bone stock. They are running in the 12's with my set up consistantly.

Being in California I could only compare my times and mods with people racing where I race
