Default Pounded by 3 vettes

[sm=insomnia.gif]I finally made it to the track today. I got stuck racing against 3 different vettes in my lowly Tq Monster. I ran a 16.07 @90.4 with a 2.88 60' against an '06 convertible vette, a 16.16 @ 90.91 with a 2.84 60' against a 96 vette, and a 15.53 @ 90.7 with a 2.49 60' against of all things a D@MN'07 z06. Needless to say my pride is hurt and my rear is nice and loose now.
Every time I tried to get lined up against something a little slower I got bumped ahead and stuck against a vette. I'm guessing todayin Bowling Green at Beech Bend there were at least 3 million in street legal vettes racing.[sm=headbang.gif]

damn I read this wrong. I thought 3 war veterans took their turn having their way with you.

ps- this is probably going to get beat to death but those short times are killing you.

even with a street tire I would think that you're capable of cutting 2.1 or 2.0 60's.

Even the Vette drivers couldn't drive. And yeah, you need to ease up on the throttle wheny ou launch. Or does the track you race at just suck?
