Took the 383 LT1 roc to the track finally!!

So i went up to the dragstrip for the first time.

I was having some tracking/wheel hope issues too. Also 3rd gen breaks are soo shitty i cant stall my car past like 1400 without rolling through.

Anyways I only made 6 passes total and then my fuel pump started acting up. My car was acting like it was out of gas with 1/3 left in it? Did this 2 times to me yesterday So now its in peices.


Anyways my best was a 12.33@112mph...1.83 60 foot (car wheel hoped like mad so i got of a tiny bit then back on).

I will be going up again soon for some more times ...should be an 11.9ish N/A

Not bad i guess... should be more in it once the fuel issue is taken care off and that traction issue is taken care of
