Friday update, was a good day a little windy but the racing was great. Was size by side with a trailblazerSS and I am sure he was surprised. I picked on 2fox body cars, beat them both on the long straights. Eddy is here along with his boy who has the white Honda hatch. Cars are hauling ass and the track is newly paved so it is a touch greasy out there in spots. Glenn I hope you can make it in Sat. It will be a lot of fun.

Sat. Update: Today was great, no rain, nice and cool, then Glenn showed up to maake a few passes around the track. I stayed side by side with a ton more cars today and got beat by a lot also. I did notice that the higher I wound the car the better it went 'till I hit the rev limiter. They did say today that powercruise will be back for 2014. I wll be posing some vids if they turn out.

Thanks, the car had a little more power than last year and it's nice to hang with the crowd instead of a 10 car length ass kicking, this year it like 2-3 by some of the same cars as last year. I have a GO Pro II and it was like $200.
On a side note someone did scuff the rh side of the camaro, I got it out by buffing it with Diamond cutter No. 9 but I burned the moulding. It was ok as there was not one on the drivers side and I think the cars look better without it IMO. I f-ing hate people that pull that crap. Next year I will park in some other area away from all the dumbass fucktards with thier shitboxes.
Sunday looks like it was a rain out, but I had a very good time both days regardless of the weather.

Sounds like you guys had a good time! Hope I can bring the GN next year. Bob - that sucks about the scuff mark. I've gotten to the point with the GN that I park as far away from shitboxes as possible wherever I go. Too many inconsiderate assholes on the loose.
BTW - how fast do they let people drive on the track? Bob - how fast did you go with the Camaro?

130, 'eh? That would be fun. How long did you keep it up there? Regarding the GN - yeah, I'd be pretty nervous with others on the track, too. I suppose I'd probably have more fun with the GTP out there. Did you see any W-bodies on the track? We did reprogram mine a few years ago at one of the GP club meetings. We got rid of the 130 MPH speed limiter & the torque-limiting crap, and we tweaked the trans a bit. I've always wondered how fast it is with the speed limiter & torque-management out of the way. Also, I just had a set of factory reman heads installed last winter. They've been shaved & the compression is up enough that I can now feel a seat-of-the-pants difference between 91 & 93 octane premium.
How long of a straight you get for accelerating up to speed? Also, how fast can the average car enter the straight?

Yep, I had a lot of fun. The icing on the cake was when I was leaving--two guys stopped and asked if I remembered them. I didn't, but he reminded me of his tubbed red Nova at Rock Falls a few years back. Then I remembered. He topped it off by saying--and remember---TC Stangs sucks!!!. I almost fell out of the truck. :laughing smile:
