Man, I have to tell ya' when I decided to start doing things with this vehicle, and try out some racing stuff for fun never realized how much it takes to finally get there.
I was planning on using GTech Pro to get 60 to 130mph
Have fun with her and be safe.. I suggest practice some oversteering at slow speeds in wide open parking lot or something to get a lil bit of a feel for it..

Yeah.. unfortunately the rules also have to cover the guy who put a big block in VW bug. The newer cars should not have to adhere to the same ET and MPH rules, but it's just too hard to have separate rules per vehicles.

But if you want to slow down the top end and bracket race for some cash, we would love to have ya.

I dont know if I would go that far, we cut high 1.2's/low 1.3 60' times with deep eight second passes on our Saturday events.
The ECS Corvette challenge and GM EFI race series is 11 events during the season, and some days the track is so-so, but most days it's not bad IMO.

Island is scary with a fast car, but great for some Friday night fun with a street car.

I always ran about .2 tenths faster at Englishtown than Lebanon, usually from the 60' being a little better from the track prep.

perhaps i went on some of those so-so days. my 60 foots were only 1.08 at englishtown, went straight to atco and ran 1.0 60 foots with 200 mph.
