ODS Street Car Test & Tune

[six_speed]

You may recall that Steve Britt, owner of ODS, has asked that the NVCC pick two of their Street Car Test & Tune sessions and have some Corvettes show up and run.

I have picked June 16th and September 8th. The session starts at 5PM and ends at 8PM. The cost is $15.00 to run and $5.00 to watch.

I am asking that some of our faster members sign up and make a good showing of the club.

Who here is interested?

No, I hadn't heard. Either that I completely missed it. I could probably swing that.

[urtoslo]

Are we talking running the oval without cones! I'd be interested in that!

This is a test and tune day at the drag strip running the 1/8 mile strip. Steve asked us to show up with some cars to show support and hopefully get a trend going.
I'll squeeze it in even though I would rather watch drags than be draggin'![:D]

[Black396]

Anybody got a set of slicks or drag radials that will fit a C4? [:D]

[janderson]

Well mine is bone stock - does about 9.5 in the 1/8 (according to the stack of 1/4 slips I've accumulated) so I think that qualifies as SLOW.
I don't think thats fast enough for showing up other cars so I won't race (unless someone twists my arm)

I'll come out to watch though.

[janderson]

Is anyone going to this on Wednesday?

[Black396]

www.Weather.com is calling for thundershowers on Wednesday. But if anyone else wants to go, I'll show if it doesn't rain.

[Ebein]

I qualify as slow also, dont think the Halltech Stinger
intake would shave much off my 1/8 mile time.

Hopefully someone with a truly fast car can show up.

aw come on Bill, fess up. [:D] You should be able to run high 12s, maybe low 13s with your car in the 1/4mi. I don't have the foggiest what that would equate to in the 1/8th though.

[Ebein]

I honestly have no Idea what my 1/4 mile times are, Ive
only had the car 3 months. The stinger is only good for about
16-18 horses according to thier website.

Whats a stock C5 run in the 1/4?

Not really sure. I've heard of stock LT1s doing 13.4 - 13.5 and LT4s doing 13.3 -13.4

Jeff Kirk's managed a 12.8 or a 12.9 I believe in his Z06. A lot of it will do with how good of a launch you get and what how the weather (humidity, barometer press and temps) is.

[Ebein]

I dont quite have the launch down yet [:p]
too slow or too much spin or hopping lol.

Looking for a sitter as is for this saturday,
wife told me last night that she's got
a baby shower to go to saturday afternoon.
so I may only be able to come out and help
set up on the 19th [:((]

According to some time slips I have a 13 sec 1/4 mile is about 8.6 sec in the 1/8 th but he had a slow 60 foot time (almost 3 seconds!)

Like Mike said its all about the launch and keeping the wheels from spinning. A test and tune night is a good opportunity to just have fun and work on the launch if nothing else.

Putting this back on top, the next test and tune is in about a week already. Still a go, weather permitting. [:)]

OK folks, this is supposed to be today, but looking at the weather, might be a no-go.
