Going for 11's for the second time Imports v. Domestics
Well for the second legit time, im going out for 11's stock turbo, full interior all that! last time out i got down to 12.008, this time it will be about 40 degrees cooler so im hoping for possibly 11.8 or maybe 11.7 if the planets are aligned right.
Anyone that is available should come down to MIR in Southern Maryland to Imports v. Domestics this weekend, Friday-Sunday all day. Im trying to get us Cobalts some credit on a big stage. over 20000 people show up to this event every year.
Slip from last time at the strip

Stock turbo.. Half the runs are 1.7 half are 1.8 I also have an ottp mount that's almost a full circle bc the bushing is destroyed... Haven't repaired that yet.. No footballs no straps just straight racing

If you make a qualifying pass at 12.0 will they still allow u to compete in 12.5? I'm not sure
Plus to 11.5 and you can line up with me

you'll be fine going 12.0 in a 12.5 class. bring a buddy with you and have them watch what times other people are making in their passes and write them down. i bet you won't be the only person going under the index.
and if you go against a car that can 60' you and you're playing catch up just a word of advice, i'd rather take the stripe and have the chance of breaking out than trying to pedal it and end up not getting by them.

Looks like I'm screwed anyway. Changing oil in the corvette tonight noticed the drivers front tire was corded on the inside edge. I just bought the car in August and just had it inspected 3 weeks ago, this was missed many times. Called a ton of places looking for a 245/40/18 tonight and no one has them on hand.
Put the corvette in the Garage and connected the battery tender. It's done for the winter.
Will be coming down to watch friends still, bringing our 2013 escape instead now.
