80mph times is fine for a stock LS1 I guess, but there was only 2 LS1's out there that were stock and they were running 80mph times with traction issues. Just think how the modded ones were doing........ I spun and was fishtailing even on the 2-3 shifts.. Kinda fun crossing the traps spinning......

I'm not trying to say you guess didnt do good, you know you did. And I'm also not saying I could do better, cuz I've never trapped in the 80's.

I'm saying that if you got to the 80's and higher (ie 85mph), then you were definatelly putting the power down.


...run on a drag strip with those same tires you used, and it will be the same result.

You know traction is bad when you are going semi-sideways up the track spinning and then hit third and do the same thing. And then you hear the gravel like your racing down a dirt road.

I'm sure our 60 ft times would go down, but would our mileage go down a bit, too??

Nice videos. I didn't know you invited other cars to these things. I also didn't know that many people showed up to these things. Sweet. I can't wait till next year, when I can go and race.
