Track time

[fredk]

Well last night I made it to the track for the first time in my Vette. First run pulled a 14 flat, I was quite happy. I couldn't duplicate it but I came very close. Left it in auto for the best times, it shifts right a redline. I ran 25 lbs in the rear tires and man was it ever hooked. Had a great time until my son broke a cv in his Probe so we headed home early. Speed is addictive I think I need some AFR heads and a TPIS cam.

Fred,

sounds like you had fun. Don't forget the TPIS long tube headers.

I wouldn't mind getting to a track when I get something more powerful, ie. LT4. Of course, it won't stay stock for long.

Hey Edmond, you've never had your 88 to the track?

Hey Edmond, you've never had your 88 to the track?

No, I don't even know where a track is around the Chicago area.:L

Speed is addictive.

Yeah. No foolin'. Plus, ya get used to power, no matter how much, so dang quickly!

 

[Vettefan87]

Yeah, I just put headers on my vette a little over a month ago, and I am already looking at other mods to do. I am going to be screwed when it comes time to do major stuff, H/C/I and gears...:cry

Nah, it'll be worth it!

How far from the IL border are you?

 

[Vettefan87]

It takes about two hours to get to Chicago I believe. So a little less then that obviously to just the state line. It is not to bad of a drive, depending on traffic.

 

[Edmond]

I'm right at the intersection of I80 and I57, about 20 minutes south of Chicago.

When I get my LT4, I'll do some mods to it and then take that to a track.

 

[Vettefan87]

Yeah I still need to get down to my local track, even though it is not a very good one, and make a couple of runs.

You don't have to wait to get a LT4. Take your 88 to the track, you will have a blast!

You're not too far from Joliet. There's a track there.
