my son's first time to the track

first run, very nervous - ran ~16.5

got his timeslip and we checked things, he felt good though as he beat out and old '73 El Camino with a 350 :baller:

then 2 races behind us, this NEW GT500 (literally 2 weeks old) found a wall after hitting 2nd gear



after about 1:20 of cleanup - he got his 2nd (and last) run down to 16.05 - MUCH IMPROVED (but wants to do better)

his is the far lane

we figure this car is probably good for mid 15s once he gets the drop

we had a great night - hope you enjoy!

Good for junior. Now he'll be obsessed with going faster for the rest of his life.

Father & Son time at the track is awesome. I turned a lot of wrenches + track time with my Dad back in the day & have done the same with my 3 sons, daughter & wife.

Bummer about the GT500. I've seen many nice street cars "kiss" the wall. Now that most performance cars have built in "nannies" to control power it surprises people when they get to the track & turn them off then the car gets squirrely.

That gives me nightmares......and reminds me of the run I did with TC off


Congrats on getting to the track. Welcome to the addiction.
