Wait till Cecil is better prepped, we had a few tuned cobalts there friday as well. and no one got into the 13's. Oscar was the only one and that was the first run and he usually runs 12s.

Congrats(ish)!

I just broke into 14s (14.98) at the track a couple weeks ago.

No power mods, just TTR rotated mounts, engine mount, and K&N drop-in. Turns out this time around at the track, I was consistently spinning through all of first gear. Gotta work on that...pathetic 60' times.

Since you did that stock, I either need to learn more (duh, of course), or check elevation here at LVMS.

Happy to hear the TTR STOP mounts are working out well for you.

Temps and humidity when you went? With it usually being so hot there it'll be hard to match the average times on any car. Don't feel bad. I'm also not sure on the elevation of LV.

Elevation is 1950ft.

Temps were in the high 60s low 70s I think.

Humidity is always very low, except for when it rains.

Just sayin Aaron.

Thats the fun of it, trying to figure out how to drive it effectively on the track haha. To me it's all trial and error, and practice makes perfect. hahaha
