Very cool!

That is very cool, and an example I'm going to use when someone asks about the "ruggedness" of the LT5.

ps Did you beat the GS?

I agree about the ruggedness. I get lots of questions at car shows about drag racing a high miles ZR-1. It impresses people that a basically stock (headers and Corsa) ZR-1 can run so well in the quarter mile. I am sure that the 100K miles at the finish line will make the point even better

Yes, I won, but that GS is modified and is pretty quick.

100k mile run was 12.826 at 108.2 mph. The next run I did a 12.762. My 60' times improved a lot from last year but my trap speeds dropped. Guess I need a tune up.

I think you need to remove the dynomat and cage! My guess is your car is a lot heavier than it was from the factory. With headers and a cat-back on a 405hp car, I would expect you to trap a lot higher than that. It would be interesting to see where it dynos at, and tips the scales at.

Also, congrats on the milestone!

I hear you, Bob. I am not sure that I am ready to start stripping weight off the car yet. I would have to get a whole lot more serious about drag racing before I do that. I did run with a nearly empty gas tank. I wasn't paying attention during the runs and when I left Beech Bend, I had one bar on the gas gauge.

Jim,

Great planning and what better than to turn 100k while blasting across the 1/4 mile. Congrats!

Some real good times, IMO, regardless of your trap speed
