Great Pics KaBoom!! Tried to join you but got tied up this past weekend.

I ran a 1.50.xx at the previous Speed Ventures event in stock trim so looking forward to going back for their Nov. event. with some more camber and cooler temps.

Would be great to get us all together out their.

cheers!

This is why I switched my day from Sunday to Saturday. This track is way too fast to drive wet.

interesting that the z28 couldn't match you on the straights. at acs im right at 155 160 going into the banking, im at 462 to the wheels which should be z28 power. Also my best time there was 1:55.xxx

Spent the weekend at Motor Sports Ranch Cresson near Fort Worth. Ran the 3.1 mile config. Ran 315 R7s square and I can report the car was a blast! The R7s fit perfect and the wear looks to be very even. Started at 37 and ended up about 47-48 PSI. The car is simply amazing and so much fun on the track.

Car is set to the GM track alignment specs.
