Joe Keller was launching hard and I believe most of his 60' times were less than 2.0, maybe just not on his best run tho.
I launched hard only on my last run and went 1.86.
Baythan has never run on a dragstrip nor boost launched before that day, so I'd chalk his run up to being a beginner.
Smaug kept blowin the connector from the intercooler to the throttle body off under boost, so that definately played a part.

And no the Z06 was not running slicks. The guy was just beatin the piss out of it.

And the steering wheels may be the same wheel with just a different center cap.

HTH

I dont think the 60 ft. time the put for me was right. I couldnt believe it when I saw it. I usually have alot better 60's than that. At the local track im always 1.7's - 1.8's and its like driving on ice compared E'town. It was a nice track. :dunno:

No excuses needed, I was just curious. A 2.2 sec. 60' isn't that impressive, especially for an AWD automatic turbo. Were they issuing time slips that day? Anyone compare for accuracy?

They didnt issue any time slips that day. They had them all on a giant print out and you had to know what order you raced in to know your time.

Seems like you guys got the wrong times or something. I think a stock Ty could run a 2.2 60' with out launching. Oh well, at least you got in a magazine. Congrats again :tup:
