Here are the results of my best run Friday night with the winged Z06c, (The Raven).

60' 1.79

330' 4.877

1/8 7.44

MPH 96.50

1000' 9.61

1/4 11.505

MPH 120.69

The trap speed was down from what I expected due to a trashed 4th gear syncro and some added drag due to the road race wing. I had to double clutch it into 4th gear. It has run 123 with a good trans and no wing.

I was only tech'ed to 11.50 so I cut it about as close as possible without getting tossed out. It was my last run anyway.

Note: No power adder is used on NA this car...

This is my road race car with a road race set-up. Not really a drag car but I'm

happy with it. My first race of the night was against a new Viper. He ran a 13.34 against my 11.86... Made him look really bad...

Brian, I don't have a scanner so you can use this data or not. There were plenty of ACE witnesses.

I hope the other ACE and Crossfire racers will post their results here as well.

Shirl,

It was a pleasure to meet you and help you out of that orange tape, (That was me, Tanya) when you got hooked up in it. It was also a lot of fun watching you run your car. I "might" have video of it. If I do, I will let you know. If not, then I just wont post it.

Anyway, your car was awesome and Im glad you came out. Hope to see you soon again sometime.

Hey Shirl,

Remember me, worked on my FRC a while back to trace down a vibration. Turned out to be a bad tire. Freak tire issues. Hope you make it to one of our cruises.

Great times by the way.

It's cool. I saw your 11.505 run and remember it because I thought "damn, that's close to the 11.5 tech time."

I will add it to our page.

It was great to meet you in person and hope you can make some more of our outings in the future.

PS - I am going to work on getting a club event run at Speedworld in November. That way we will have more track time, a better track and be able to do time trials, eliminations and bracket race to get a group overall winner. To do so I will need at least the turnout we had at Firebird and at least 10 - 15 cars racing.

Been to his ah.........shop/hanger once. Shirl builds his own race engines and such.

Thanks for your offer Mike, I do all my own engine/drivetrain work. I may be interested in some parts though. I'll give you a call when I get the trans apart to see what it needs...

Tanya,

Sorry I didn't get a chance to talk to you at the drags. Hope to see you on a cruise soon now that I know who you are... Thanks for your help and your comments.

Shirl

Keith,

Great to hear from you again. I hadn't connected your screen name with you. Are you in Camp Verde? I go there often to visit my sister and I lived there for a while in the early 90's. Great place, wish I lived there again... Let me know how to contact you and I will look you up the next time I'm in town...

Shirl

Brian,

Good to get to meet you and I'm sorry you had trouble with the car. I would like to see it run. Thanks for making it easy to post my results. Speedworld would be great for me, but make sure they prep the track beyond 60'... I almost hit the wall there on a 1-2 shift due to the slippery (un-prep'd) surface.

Still in CV. You can click on my screen name and send me an E-mail via the forum. Have to show you my 72. Maybe grab lunch.

That is a great price on parts. Where were you when I was rebuilding my 6pd? :)
