Going here next week to try to work on my 0-60 pulls. I can't get below 6 seconds in the V8 M6 so either my shifting is gutter trash, somethings wrong with the car, or i'm the slowest middle aged human being on Earth.

Let us know how it is. I was at Island once probably about 10 years ago. Considered taking the SS there to see what it'll do.

Should come join me! I'll give you a date for when I go. Going to represent the Camaro Club :).

Was there last night. Love that place

That place is a stone's throw from my house and I've never been there. Are convertibles allowed to run? :pop2:

Seen them there with the top up

Im going this Wednesday the 12th for Test & Tune

I think I spoke with you. I had the black Zl1

Yeah that was me. Nice to see some ppl from here there

Sorry I missed you guys I could have given you my elevator pitch lmao. I'll be at Island this Wednesday at 6 if you want to meet up.

Anyone going tonight? Weather seems decent

I can't today - I went on Wednesday and did like 15 runs wasn't a lot of competition for the track which was nice. If you wanna coordinate I could definitely do something next week.

How were your times?

Awful. I couldn't get my wheels to hook at all. I posted them up in the Drag discussion for the 1/8 mile time sheet sticky thread. Best 1/4 I could do with my M6 was 13.105. I wasn't happy but I learned a lot about the car. Biggest thing is these things are highly heat resistant - I hot lapped the crap out of the car - 17 runs only two 3 minute breaks. Times kept going down - I credit some of it with fuel loss. I was consistent to a fault if you factor in the quarter tank I used up over 4 hours.

I was 1788 in the attached. I have other footage but my wife took this one on one of my runs. To be fair to the Corvette he was having a really bad day. https://youtu.be/dE_FxgifX1U

How much does it run, $25 per night? Thinking about giving a go soon.

Seems like a fun night and got some good practice

25 a night, cash only, they have a concession stand. I'd really like it if we could all roll in together one night.

Possibly tomorrow night

I'm down to go to Island, really local for me. New here just picked up my 2SS on Thursday.

Friday might cool off

I can do this friday

If my car gets fixed in time, I'll go as well for some low 11's

Wifey vetoed, hoping to get there Sunday or next friday.

Leaning towards Sunday myself, too, as my day at work will be unpredictable tomorrow. Car is fixed, new intercooler pump up and swirling coolant, all looking good and I want to run a new PB. Russ, what do you say?
