Well tonight I ran one of my buddies H/C/I C6 Corvette. The car is a 6 speed with 3.73 gears and puts down 495/450. My mods are in my sig. Going into this race I was very excited and was expecting to get walked extremely hard. He had a 400lb passenger in his car and I had my wife. My wife could not stay still enough to get a good video of any of the races but The camera in the Corvette got all three runs.
1st run we went from a 50 roll. I started in 2nd gear at 4,000 rpms. 3 honks and we were off. Like an idiot I wasn't thinking and lifted off the gas to shift to third and he jumped probably 2 cars on me, powershifted third, and by the time I shifted into fourth he had probably 3-4 car lengths on me.
2nd run we agreed to go from a 30 roll. I spun through most of first and got about a half car jump on him, powershifted second and kept it there. Buy around 3/4 of the way through third he pulled back and put half a car on me and said he missed third so I got the W on this one.
3rd race was a 35 roll. I agreed to leave it in second which put me right around 3,000 rpms. 3 honks and we were off. Through most of second we were pretty much even powershifted into third and he slowly started pulling away and put about a car and a half on me. I ran it up to about 120 where he missed 4th and we both let off at the same time. W went to him with a 1 1/2 car lead.
The video should be up on my local forum pretty soon and when it is I will post a link over here.
More races to come in the near future. I should be racing a pontiac g8 with a built 418 and a tvs 1900 supercharger next weekend so stay tuned as my weekends are normally packed with fun.
