Me included.<br /><br />I finally got the 1.9 60 footer that had been eluding me. My eighth mile time was almost a 10th better than anything I've ever run.

About the same as a wednesday night, but more higher end cars and bikes.<br /><br />It cost $40 to race. They were good about telling you it was eighth mile before you paid.<br /><br />Track was hooking good. They ran some type of flame treatment between some of the rounds that I'm not familiar with.<br /><br />It was a cold day, someone said the density altitude was -600 ft. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>ShredTread</b> <br /><small>Member # 4869</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,10,29,19,25,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Thanks for the link YellowGT.<br /><br />I ran a 8.643 / 80.98 / 1.959 in the eighth. The converter you refered guessed 13.48. Which sounds reasonable. <br /><br />This was my first successful track day with the timing advanced. I tried the SCT flash tuner to bump my timing curve up a bit. It does produce a noticable increase in power throughout the curve. A bit more than I expected since my car isn't modded much. It did run perfect at the track since I mixed in some 100 octane. But overall I think the Flash tune is too much timing for the amount of street use my car sees. I'm going to return it to stock for now. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Blackicelsc</b> <br /><small>Member # 4015</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,11,2,8,20,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> the conditions were awesome.

I didnt race my Mark VIII. I was too busy tuning the 6 second car. it may have been a Chevy...but with the wheelstands he was yankin...who cares!<br />(anyone see it? its the Enderle injected black 70 camaro...if you saw it...you KNOW you saw it) <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>ShredTread</b> <br /><small>Member # 4869</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,11,2,20,19,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Yeh, I saw that Camaro launch once.
