Im on my way. Be there around 8 or so

SkunkJunk420 · 07-08-2010, 02:13 AM

no matter what i do, i cant squeeze anything better than a 13.6! see yall next week!

PnCRedJwl2SS · 07-08-2010, 10:00 PM

Yeah-boy! THAT WAS A BLAST! I got twelve runs in before I left last night (yes, 12)! My best time was a 13.55 seconds at 103.83 mph, with a 2.07 60-ft time! What-a-rush!!

Most of my runs were around 13.66 seconds or so...TC on or off didn't seem to matter. Except for one thing...on my fastest run I forgot to turn off the TC. I launched at about 1200 RPM, too. Getting the tach up to where you want it and steady before you launch is harder than I thought...there's not much time--especially if you stage second.

I was in Stabilitrak Competitive Mode for most of the runs. I did one with everything turned off...didn't seem to make much difference. I also tried one run using tap-shift...that did NOT go well...I hadn't practiced that enough...but it felt like the potential was there for a fast run, if I could refine the technique.

I really enjoyed racing against Joe, Mike, and Josh! Let's do that again soon! I'd also like to thank Josh's friend Craig, who captured some pics and some launch video of my car and was kind enough to volunteer to send them to me via e-mail (hope that works)!

The San Antonio Raceway is interested in having our Camaro club come out "in force" and run races...maybe even against other car clubs...they are talking trophies, etc. Anyone interested? Could be fun...

Hey...so who's up for next Wednesday at the track?

I'm goin'!

wbt · 07-09-2010, 11:24 PM

Hope to have the ride back from the paint shop by then. If so, I will be there.

Drigar · 07-10-2010, 12:40 AM

I might have to show up next run with camera in hand. I'd like to do a shoot to show everyone what yer all doin. And since I'll have my tune in and shouldn't be having any more CEL issues, I might get a run or two in. I even bought my own regulation helmet

Lookin forward to the 14th, even though it is a "school night".

SkunkJunk420 · 07-10-2010, 04:34 AM

Count me in....

CamaroSkooter · 07-10-2010, 11:15 PM

I'll make the trek. Still haven't purchased a helmut. Just waiting on my next paycheck (I think)

2010ABM · 07-12-2010, 02:15 AM

At this point, it looks like I'll be there again this Wednesday. I always enjoy the Wednesday night test and tunes!

PnCRedJwl2SS · 07-12-2010, 06:57 PM

Looks like we've got a pretty good group forming for this Wed (14 Jul). Most of us are going to meet up at John's place first (JSTXAF), between 6 - 6:30 PM and convoy to the track from there (if you need directions, PM him and he'll send them to you - He lives in Schertz, off Schertz Parkway).

So far, folks I know about include: (Updated as of Tuesday night, 7/13)

Confirmed:

JSTXAF
Legend
SSE 4 2SS
CamaroSkooter
2010ABM
SkunkJunk420
