I'm not worried about him either. I worried for your investment...

What's the altitude of Napierville? I've raced there and it's not a bad track.

It won't hurt your traction though.

I hope not that high but the gas tank , the wind , barometric pressure , compound glue , burn outs, etc. determine a drag race. Will see tomorrow. Finally got my launch control going. Did not try it though , I was on a neighborhood street.drag racers always have excuses ready.... 11.8 or worse

Ok , bad day at the track. 11.57 was my best time. Either the track sucks or this car does. Wheel hop every time. Right lane would not stick at all. Left lane, wheel hop twice, right lane 4 times! My pro told me, all Z51s wheel hop, what he's seen at least. He says for drag racing Z51 option is useless. Some have broken down and left by towing. He showed me his run, with a bare no option C8 coupe and he did a 10.96 quarter mile. Wow! It's on the internet. Eliminate the wheel hop and with a 3/4 tank full of gas and I would of done 11.30. I have to admit the track was bad, lots of complaints about the right lane. Next time I will have my drag radials on. Very worried about the wheel hop though. I hope I don't break anything. Will post my time , soon.

Maybe it's time to give it up and build a dedicated track car...
