Yeah... popped the gasket in 3rd, lost it a bit but managed to get control at the last moment...tapped the wall at very slow speed...nothing major from what I understand as far as damage..
Here is a vid of my friends A4 GTO vs Laura (my fiancee)driving my Z28.
They were within a few tenths of each other all day long. Funny thing is with his tune (put down 361rwhp on a local dyno here) we though he was going to take us at higher speeds... didn't happen. I ran him myself and he would get me out of the hole (he was pulling 1.9 and 2.0 60fts with no effort) and I would slowly gain back through each gear, thengain by abig margin on each shift until I would be out in front by the end. Happenedevery time(both cars ran head to head about 12 times).

Looks like I have another bumper to paint. I just painted it a month ago
I didn't see it up close but a number of people said it wasn't bad. I think the lack of bumper supports saved it.
I am still working on getting pictures and stuff... didn't have the computer much this weekend...only managed to get videos uploaded. I also found out that I was running on 89 octane saturday .... Monmoth gas station screwed me over, the Fiancee didn't want to pay 4+ a gallong for premium and stuck in 89 octane instead. Explains the loss of trap speed even though we had -1xx DA saturday.

The Fiancee said she wanted to take the car down the track (since she has never ran on a track before in her life). Only 19 cars ended up coming due to the threat of rain so she felt comfortable making some passes.
Well....she made 27 passes :icon11: my clutch (Factory Clutch with 84K on it) has finally given up on me but she did rather well..
I hopped in it after her 15th pass, lined up...rolled the rpms up to 2200 rpm and let out .... RPMs shot up and I didn't move... (3.3 60ft for the win!!!)..haha... I was only able to get a 13.2 out of it on a 2.0x 60ft and my MPH was 104 ~ 105 with noticable slippage just before my shifts launching from near idle. I made only a handfull of passes before handing the keys back over and letting her enjoy what was left of the clutch. [8D]
She got a few 106mph traps right when she first started but by the end of the day they were 104~105 (too much abuse? the hotlapping? the 89 octane?? who knows) but she did manage a nice 1.99 60ft which further proves I have no driving talent..haha.
Any ways just thought I would share, I am putting a new clutch in shortly (LS6 clutch came with it from the factory and that's what is going back in), and doing some suspension mods next weekend (1LE springs) so I am losing stock status. It was definately a blast trying to get the best out it that I could, but I guess it's time to toss on a lid and the springs and see what happens.

God I love my town. Nothing like paying $4.09/gallon. Cost me $56 to fill up Saturday night.[&:]You could've atleast spelled it right though. There's a U in there.lol. Also, instead of going with an LS6 clutch, go with the LS7 clutch and flywheel. It's only $425, on Scoggin Dickey. http://www.sdparts.com/product/SDLS7...cFlywheel.aspx

No, I didn't. I just finally joined MFBA this past weekend. I didn't really know about the track rental anyways. I've got to give the new clutch a little break-in time before I start running the hell out of her again too. lol
MFBA Rental Results
I finally got a 2.0x 60ft today but my best was only 13.2 @106mph... ah well...modding starts next weekend.
