Vince and David are every bit as much CCNMers as actual paid members of the club. LOL

Y'all are motivated Camaroites. And you know it.

Congrats again Phil. Guess we'll be done wrapping and doing vinyl for a bit eh??!!

Where did the weekend go? What was your highlight fellas?

I'll keep wrapping as long as I have customers.
Other than sleeping in motels during the week, my weekends actually have more freetime now. I have two lined up now that don't have a time crunch. Pics coming soon.

Fastest 5th gen at the track that night

Yep, these weekends just go by way to fast. I didn't really do anything, from memory summers fly by so quick that not much gets done.

took "mines" to the track for the first time - much tire spin on launch, but my consistent time was 14.1 @ 99.7mph. time to reduce weight, get better rear tires. Ivan - lets talk about a time for the Cam.

Sounds like some righteous times were had this weekend....congrats on finally getting out to the track David.

Now we know just how slow...er fast your Camaro really is. 13.2 is actually a fast 5th Gen imho. That beats my 13.37@109 that I did like 2 years ago when we all went.

It's all in that 60'...Im sure Vince can attest. If you can get out of the gate sub 2, you're in for a good run.

Yep...

If I was willing to go back to the slicks I could get that damn 10 second pull.

My best is a 11.18 on drag radials (1.78 60'). Getting the old 1.5x 60' would push me into the 10's no problem.

I just don't want slicks no more. Driving home in the rain on full slicks was the scariest time I have ever had in a car.

oh well... Still waiting for someone to go faster, that might give me some incentive to get off my ass

Yeah, Vince gave me some good advise on launching my tank. But the needing tire thing is still a issue. you dont happen to have any rear tires in the shop do you Ivan

Actually...yes. I have a set of 305 take offs. Antonio Duran brought them by for me to sell. I think that he wants like $200 for the pair. Low miles. Hit him up directly for the deal. I know he'd love to sell em man.

I do have some 3000 mile fronts at the shop too but those might not work out so well.

Humm... If David don't want them I might. Always good to have more tires to burn up. Lu pointed out my green rubber all over the inside of the fenders. lol.
