Ulysses,
If you get there early, I would just get in line and follow all
the others to the track. I will try to be there early also and I'll have a Yellow Z06 Vette with at Black Bra. There will be plenty of time to hook up once we are all in line at the staging
point.
Regards,
Steve
OK OK OK,
Slicks,- I don't need no slicks- er or I don't have any?
I guarantee I'll break 13.00 and into the 12."s so I'll
take a pitcher of Coors Lite!
Ulysses, If you don't break into the mid 12's I'll be surprised!
If you just point your car straight and punch the gas, you should
be into...
SoCal,
If you hit sub 12.00 I'll buy the beer, but if I hit the 12.6's
you buy the beer. How's that sound?
The weather forcast I'm hearing is HOT HOT HOT
So the morning runs become more interesting.
Regards,
Steve
Oh and Ulysses, How come you tech guys can work all night but
you cant get up...
VenomLvr,
Some people were hitting the 12.4's with their Z's at Carlsbad
a few weeks ago. The best I did was 13.200 albeit my first day
at the strip. I am more familar with the car now and have added
a few other goodies and a few more miles on it so I think I can
get into the 12's and would be...
SoCal,
I can take it! I am a rookie and I know it. No pressure on me.
I would be very happy to put down a 12.6 with my Z and I have seen you put down 12.2's on a sloppy track so I am not much of a
challenge to you. But if you feel better picking on a lowely
Z with a rookie at the wheel then...
VenomLvr,
I will be there and I will bring the Z06 as the Viper is still
a long way from being broken in.
Thanks for the info!
see ya there,
Regards,
Steve
SoCal,
What are the details? Costs, Times, etc.
Where do I sign up or do I just show up?
Thanks again for all the info!
And yes at the SRA event the track seemed very slick.
Regards,
Steve
I'd pull a car fax for one. Find a knowlegable Viper Tech in your
area and have the car checked over! (this is a must)
Gen 1 cars do have some inherant problems, but not bad if you are
expecting them. You can get a set of factory wheels from Jon B at the Parts Rack at a pretty good price...
Re: Cop-\"Well... it\'s a Viper...\" (great story)
A friend of mine had a similar experience with his 360 yellow
Modena in Palm Springs, Only there was a Helicopter! He pulled
over and waited for the cops to catch up and they eventually gave
him a ticket for 70mph instead of 130 ish!
I guess if...
Safe Racing is having another Drag day at Carlsbad (Southern Cal)
I'll be taking my Z06 again and I'm sure SoCal Rebel will be there with his Viper. Anyone else going?
You can find out more at www.Saferacing.Org

Kevin,
I live in San Diego and have had three Vipers including the 01
ACR I have now. I would be glad to look the car over and compare.
Where are you, I'm in Chula Vista.

Steve
I watched fairly stock Z06 vettes running mid 12's all day at
Carlsbad drag strip a few weeks ago. Not a great track at all.
These cars ranged from cold air only to some with headers and drag radials. The best I ran (which was in the heat of the day)
was a 13.200. It was my first day out on a...
It's the differance between a Lion and Lioness! The GTS Concept
is just an awesome machine the RT leaves something to be desired,
like DC is holding back. Which obviously they are after seeing the GTS!
Build it DC they will buy it! (I would)
Regards,
Steve
Chuck is up there at the top for sure!!!
This leaves no question!
When you find a good Viper Tech, Keep him!
When you find a great one make sure he becomes a great friend!
Regards,
Steve
Do you have high flow air filters? Smooth Tubes?
I don't know why, but my Z06 temp fell a little better than 10 degrees simply by putting a cold air intake set up on.
I like the aftermarket fan kit from Roe Racing also. (won't help while driving but helps cool the engine after stopping) You...
Venom lover,
I will probably bring the Z as the Viper isn't broken in yet.
I have modified the Vette a little with a Halltech,Ripper, and a few other goodies still not in the same league as the Viper.
My impressions on the track are probably worth nothing as I have never been on a track except...
