Thanks for the encouragement.LOL!Yeah it was a last minute thing,one time trial and one elimination pass.I did knock 6/10s off the second run.Lotas wheel spin on the shifts etc.No excuses,I sucked big time but had a freakin' blast!I do believe some tires and a real launch technique with some track prep are in order,But not necessarily in thar order.The best S197 run was a 9.20 stock GT manual,And the GTO's were only getting 8.90's.There also was an 04 SRT4 with a turbo mod of sorts that was getting 8.80's.I think our track sucks a little also,mostly me though.Going again Friday night,looking for some 6.80'sLOL!

Hey man at least you're out there racing, that's more than most people do, and you're man enough to post up about it. Keep it up and you will get better.

GT500 is an easy 7 second car in decent air. I saw stock one running 7.7son the factory Supercars a few weeks ago.
TrapSpeed was in the low 90s.

Ever consider drag radials? It's extremely tricky to launch a car with that much power & torque.
