VMP LS1/LT1 Drag Video

I took my LS1 out to VMP in Dinwiddie, VA with Texanmutt's 94 LT1 M6 yesterday. We had a fun day running. I was at 13.5 all day, with a 2.0 sixty foot time. It was hot and muggy, the LT1 has ran a 12.7 at 113, but only got to 13.15 saturday. Neither of us had much experience with bracket racing, I lost first round with a 12.52 dial in. I ran a 12.57, but the second gen I ran went 11.21 vs his 11.20 dial in! Texan won first round, but then broke out on round two. It was a fun day, we'll be back to try again! Some nice F-bodies out there to watch!

Thanks Jen! Still disappointed not to get more response from the number of views, but that is how it goes! That IllusionalTA is a fun guy. Nice car too Jen!

Nice run, I may have met TM at Bills once when he was tearing the car down.

Maybe I'll see you guys at the track sometime though I don't think I'll run often at VMP (no roll bar = quick exit). Ever go to Richmond?

I already know EmotionalTA.......

Ed, Were you with Steve out at Advance 2-3 weeks ago?

Yep, that was me with him at Advance. Did you hear the sad news about his motor? Dropped a rod running a S-trim Mustang in NY. At least he still won

I need to make it up to Advance again, some nice cars up there!
