Can't wait to see what your new setup does. I haven't had a chance take my to the track either. It started with a vibration after my axles install, now I have to wait for the axles to come in. Keep us posted.

Looks clear for tomorrow.

Also, lost 75 pounds:

The Corbeau seat is from my GTO days, just bought a Camaro bracket for it.

BTW, the driver seat weighs 60lbs, the passnger 45lbs.

Sweet... can't wait to see the numbers...

How much lower are those seats compared to stock

It's actually "feels" higher. With my helmet on, I hit the roof.

But it's not terrible. It may be because of the straight back.

If I buy a more permanent one (the red matched my GTO but not the SS), I'll get a reclining one.

Congrats, Padre! Your build journal inspires me to keep planning, even if the 'real' mods are a year away.

Planning is half the fun.

Summary of the day:

10.788 w/ 1.627 sixty, 1/8th: 6.942 @ 102.84.

No MPH today (first weekend, needed new sensors). I guestimate 125mph.

Lots of new Mustangs today. For some reason they didn't want to run me.

Nice young lady got a great video, gotta wait till she sends it to me. No videos of my own. All my electronics were off today. Must be the solar flares.

Congrats Padre!
I would have loved to have seen some mph at the big end, but can't wait to see the vids!

SixGracing · 03-11-2012, 10:06 PM

That is incredible Padre! I remember when litre bullet bikes were the only thing running in the 10's. You're doing it in a Camaro! Freakin bad a**!!

Congrats!
