Default Went back to the track last night with a couple of 5.0's

Went racing again last night. The conditions were perfect (low 70s at 5:00 pm, mid 60s at 9:00pm) and my car LOVED the cold air. We went to a different track that has historically been pretty crappy, but a lot of my racing buddies told me they had made a lot of improvements with track prep, etc... so we decided to go. Boy were they WRONG. Track sucked, couldn't hook off the line when I tried to leave aggressively, then it would spin when I would powershift. So I basically left soft and granny-shifted my way through 3 passes. There was one pass where it actually hooked up, but it was skating from side to side all the way down the track. It was the best pass of the day though (and new best trap speed of 107mph), so I though I would post the video.

Also had a couple of buds with 2012 5.0s go with me, and I thought I would post their vids as well. The black one has a BAMA tune and CAI, the blue one is completely stock w. 3.31 gears (his video is from last week, didn't get one of his passes last night).
