Default Video Cartek Racing 2 Gto's and Trans am Breaking N/A Record

Cartek Racing 04 LS1 & LS2 GTO N/A New Record 1/4 Results*
Atco Raceway was a blast yesterday I ran the car hard but with good results the 1st 4 passes were 11.003 11.004 11.05 & 11.002,
Was a little frustrated being so close to 10's in the morning session,There was a fairly strong head wind also.

Then Julio worked his magic yet once again and got the car dialed in. In the afternoon session I went out on the very next pass and ran a 10.95@ 122.88 Mph with a 1.48 60 ft and later in the day we clicked off a best ever 10.81.

I Really wanted to thank the Crew over at Cartek Racing in NJ for doing an outstanding job once again by getting me deeper in the 10's and Julio for somehow finding more out of my car, I don't know how he does it or what he does but I'm glad I'm the beneficiary of it. Again Fantastic Job Guys!!!

Weight Reduction
Seats
Fuel Brace
V brace
skid plate

Average temps were around 56- to 62 Degrees
Barometer was great 30.57
Da was around -900 in the morning and then was around -300 by 2:00pm

Here is the video of both my car and Bluebird05gto New PB and Brooklyn Marks... Rockin Silver Trans Am,I think I might see a little bit daylight under the front tire on the last pass, Even on my heavy *** ride.
