Corvette Performance - Went to the drag strip yesterday for the first time

well...first time this year at least and its freaking October!!! time to put the car away in a couple weeks so i thought i'd take it out one last time. took time away from work too during a REALLY busy time so my boss was not happy. BUT, this was the outcome.

This car:

Ran these times. this was two if my three qualifying passes. Ended up taking 5th place out of 48 entries. Glad i skipped work! :rofl:

Nice runs ryan already moved your postion up on the 25 fastests mn lsx list also.

What tires are you running? Been looking to upgrade from the nt555 305s for a good track tire.

sweet! thanks man!

i am running m/t et streets (slicks). i would not waste time with drag radials, i ran them in the past. if you can get some spare rims and buy those slicks, it is def worth the money. i bought my setup for 450 shipped. i had a CCW drag pack before which i sold for good money. but those worked the same. i was only able to manage 11.00s with the drag pack.

Nice runs, stick or auto?

its an auto... was built for drag racing. would love a stick car, but the next vette i buy will be a c6z so theres my road race stick car.

I agree with a great drag pack set up on the car it will be doing much better.Sound like a good day at the track.

i actually had a set of 16" CCW drag packs with slicks and skinnies on my car but i recently sold them. i ran 11.00xs with the drag pack and with the new 17" slick on the rear and normal front tire, i was running those 10.6x's.

the ccw skinnies i had wieghed damn near equal to my daily ccw fronts. so no diff there. the rears i guess didn't matter either since they were the identical size and tire.

either way...yea, a good day at the strip. Car is put away now for the season. already miss it!!! :cry:

Damn nice runs !! And to think there is more sitting in that sixty foot time !! Awsome mph as well !!
