I was finally able to participate in the Summit ET Racing Series #5 ( Race 1,2 only had 900 miles , #3 ,4 my sis in town ) .
at Wildhorse Pass MS Park in Chandler Arizona.
A beautiful day it was , I had good luck not knowing how to setup the car, so I left the StabiliTrak an Traction Control on , and Touring mode ( softer suspension for weight transfer) .

Let me back up , my 1st pass I turned both off and Track mode in race , tire pressure 25 psi .
I launched an up in smoke , backed off hit it again ran a 12.72 @ 122 .

So for my 2nd pass everything on , Tour mode , tire pressure 19 psi. ( same setup rest of the day )10am , 65 deg. 11.45 @ 123 mph , 1.81 60ft
3rd pass, 12:45pm 78 deg. 11.59 @ 122 , 1.91 60 ft. RT .007 ( Slowed down due to Temp )
Time to Dial in 11.60 , 2:41pm 82 deg. ran a 11.66@ 121.6 , 192.7 60ft RT .000 perfect lite (ECU pulling timing out, temp.)
2nd round dial a 11.68 ,( ran my friend Pat wasn't planned. ) 4:32 pm 83 deg. I red lit, -.023 RT when I seen the red bulb I back out , the I was back in ran 11.70 @120 .
Had a great time , learning this Car is so much different from the learning curve of the 22 1SS I Raced last year I could run it with everything turned off 19 psi tires 12.17 @ 114 mph.
Lite years different from when I Raced my 68 Camaro SS , it was specifically set up for Drags , suspension, slicks . and so elementary, you didn't half to think .
With the SS and now the Z so much running thru my head , plus I'm 67 now no 22 to 47 when with the 68.
To summarize , if you haven't Drag Raced go try it at least once .
