Odd award for a Pro-Touring car.. Wally?

[Steve1968LS2]

Of all the awards I hoped to win one day I never really expected one of these.. Yep, I won a real-deal Wally driving BP in the drags.. who would have thought? Thanks to Henry at Chevy High Performance for sponsoring the class.. Fastest Media car.. also won overall champ for fastest of all Media and Manufacturers cars. It was a good weekend even if I did fry my clutch into molten slag.

Well, it is habbit forming.. lol.. oh well, like the say "if you're not breaking stuff you're not trying hard enough"

Chalk my mistake up to very little manual trans drag experience.. auto yes, manual, not so much.

But, I got the brass ring so it was worth it.

Congrats Steve, that's pretty cool. Not everybody can say they have one of those.

The way it's going, pretty soon everyone will be able to say that. Those things have certainly lost some luster now that they are given away at bracket races, media events, etc....

Congratulation's Steve, way to go! You must have surpised some people, I'm sure there were a lot of drag oriented cars there. Very nice for the office shelf.

not a bad 60' with a road racing tire.......cool beans

What tires on back?? Your are picking up more than 29 mph from 1/8th to 1/4! Thats a mean upper end pull my friend!

[Vegas69]

He was on Mickey Thompsons. I could only manage a 1.9xx on my R888's. That is a great second half pull. I think I ended up with 26mph the next day.

He was on Mickey Thompsons. I could only manage a 1.9xx on my R888's. That is a great second half pull. I think I ended up with 26mph the next day.

I thought you were 120mph on Sunday?

Yea, on MT drag radials.. I really needed to heat them more but they sure helped with the 60-foot time.

Your car sounded great, glad you made it to the event!

[Vegas69]

1/8-1/4 mph gain. I did run 120.5 mph. Thanks man, you can break some ****. :lol: Remind me to never throw you the keys.

Yea.. using the online calculators my 1/8 of 7.446 should have been a 11.69 1/4 .. so the car is great on the top end.

Most people thought that I could have picked up quiet a bit if I had softened my shocks, hooked up my rear bar and did a few other adjustments. But, aside for the radials, I wanted to run in my street trim.

I don't know why my brain just saw 126 ??? I need some afternoon coffee.

And you know what they say.. about trying and breaking stuff.. :)

I wasn't about to let Hot Rod or Car Craft take home the trophy.. now Camaro Performers has the best autocross and best drag trophies for this year.. I might have to build a drag car for next year though.

I think your car ran great for being on R888s.. you need to borrow my DRs.
