New Personal Best at M10 Stanton

I just wanted to say my friends and I had a blast up at Stanton. It was a little chilly with a strong headwind while running but I ended up running my new personal best.

I made the quick 16 field and I broke nothing. I did change my plugs at the track and that was a fun time. (Not!)

Thanks to all my friends that went and helped and also a big thanks to Taner for the spark plugs and tips. (Greatly appreciated guys)

10.30 @131 with a 1.44 60ft

Went for more but spun on my last pass and called it a day.
I was going for high 9's but maybe next year now unless I get back out to the track this year.

Yep full weight and nothing at all has been removed from the car.

Plus it's a 6 speed.

I guess I should update my sig now.

Re: New Personal Best at M10 Stanton

It's actually a Z28 but with an SS hood and yes it's black.

Could you forward it to me @ tnkaramitsos@rc2corp.com

Hopefully it's the second to last race I did when I raced the white turbo car and got my best time.

Thanks,

Tony

Re: New Personal Best at M10 Stanton

What does the car run on motor? Can you share some of the details of your engine setup?

Re: New Personal Best at M10 Stanton

Kreinmc I will email you a list of parts in my car. Or you can check out the GM High Tech issue that my car was featured in. (see sig)

Hey Joelius thanks for the link and I already saw those.

Number #140 video is of my car but #134 is of someone elses.

My best ran came when I raced this 4th gen white turbo in the quick sixteen. You don't happen to have that video do you? I looked but I didn't see it. My buddy has it and I will post it once I get it from him this weekend.
