I went to Atco Tuesday night....... Temp Tag racing!!!
I did not see many old buddies and good old Pat. :(
But I did see Snowblind with his lady and his Great Dane. He says he will bring his C8 to Atco soon.
I went to Atco thinking Maybe I can squeeze out a 2.0 60' and at least get into the mid 12s with my M6 LT1. Forget that, a 2.25 was my best 50'out of 2 runs.
On run 1 I launched just a little above idle and I got wheel hop and a 2.3 60'. I didn't really do 2nd hard on the clutch release and got a 13.241@110.36.
On run 2 I did a street start but hit 2nd all out at the red line. I was rewarded with the LT1 getting a little sideways so I backed off. That was a 2.31 60' and an ET of 13.156@112.09.
I think the run 1 MPH reflects I was so discouraged I think forgot to go into 4th and touched the limiter.
I did beat 2 Mustangs
I was going to try with TC on, but Atco got crazy crowded so I left.
In my loaded 2016 2SS M6 with just over 500 miles my first run ever was 12.7@115. And with a 2.0 60' ran a 12.6. Later with practice I was running 12.3-12.4s
Luckily I have the solution in the garage. The MT DRs I bought for the ZL1. They may be overkill for a stock LT1.
Also as to weight my 2016 was 3,685 with 1/4 tank. Since I lost 35 pounds since then I think my loaded LT1 will come in somewhere around 3,585 pounds. So with = tires and driver this should be good for a tenth for the LT1 over the 2SS. But not with the stock tires.
My first Temp Tag racing run #454 on the left below. Below that is my very first '16 m6 2SS run, the 12.7 and my best before I left was a 12.5.
