Pre-Corvette Challenge Tune Up

[XfireZ51]

In anticipation of the Corvette Challenge on 9.26, who's interested in going to the track for some tuning/practice? GLD? Byron? I know Lgaff has a clutch he needs to break in.

How about GLD this time? It's closer to me :mrgreen:

Just slap on the Sumos from the 90 for now.

Hans,

I should be available next week.

Looks like these would be the days prior to Labor Day weekend

Sept. 1 Tue Fun Racing - Ladies Nite 5pm-10pm
Sept. 2 Wed Wacky Wednesday Race for $20 5pm-10pm

So far these days look great for weather.

[Ccmano]

How about this weekend?

Both Saturday or Sunday look good for weather. Sunday better than Saturday. Who else would come?

Doing my budget for work, and no tires yet so I am out.

Hans,

Unfortunately had to rush over to MI for a family emergency. Not sure I'll be back in time for Sunday. How about Tuesday evening?

[XfireZ51]

Went today. Great day with great weather. Hardly anyone there. It was easy to do datalogging while getting a few runs in. My best time was a 12.8 and best trap was an 118.63. Fun track. I thought it stuck better than Byron, even mid-track, although my 60' doesn't show it. Worthwhile $35.

Thanks 4 that!

Speaking for myself, I'm hoping to have mine back together in time. I began planning the re-match a year ago, right after the first Corvette Challenge, beginning with the top end P&P, Headers, open exhaust, etc. This valve issue was untimely and unplanned.:rolleyes: But, while the heads are off anyway, no better opportunity than now to complete the porting!

So, with any luck at all, I hope to be close to "4 and a quarter" at the rear wheels, depending on whether I can somehow afford an aluminum FW before it's time to reassemble and roll. But, even at 425 ish, the cadre making up the core of the FBI puts A LOT more on the ground than that. So, if it is like last year, the BEASTS should open some eyes, "fer sher"!!:dancing

Without a doubt, we're gonna have some fun. If Marc H. makes it as hoped, I could see it becoming quite a turnout for the BEAST - a mini BG?
