BOOM.

As for me, the truck posted the slowest times I've ever had. lol

Based on their time open...I may head out around 3? Who knows, too early to tell lol.

I didn't see anyone from here up there today. Got a new PB in the truck though which was nice. Had a rough first few runs until I lowered the psi in the tires 10lbs. Still wasn't able to get anything better than a 1.9x 60' on those all season hankooks though lol.

i ended up spending sunday cruising around the charleston area and likely pissing off some people in folly beach with the g8s exhaust lol

You seem to care more about impressing others with the "sound of your exhaust" than racing... :poke:

Only lightning there. Hard to miss. Wish I had known, would have came over and said hi. Darryl had his blue notchback there. We were parked right by the staging lanes. Red dually w/red trailer.

I should have posted something here while I was there but didn't think of it. My other buddies with the CTS-V wagon and 2013 M5 were also there but they left much earlier.

Before getting those cars (recently) they owned 2012 Camaro SS (H/C/I) and C6Z....guess they decided to move on into some luxury performance for a while lol.

His name is Pat(trick). It's a 2013 and was built in November I think. So far stock. It's an auto V8. I wanted him to get the previous gen V10 6 speed but he refused lol.

I didn't know anyone else had made it up. That was my best run of the day, I'm still adjusting to slicks, and the car needs more dialing in. Ran a 10.29 @ 134 on that pass, and if it didn't bog at the launch and i wasn't floating all over the track I fully believe she has a 9.9x in her... I saw the black lightening, didn't know that was you!!! My buddy got a better video he will have to get me as this was just a cell phone video...
