SoCal: Time attack tuesdays

[Chad-1stGen]

I have to revive this thread since after about four years I finally made it back to Adam's!! I've also posted this stuff in my V3.0 build thread but just had to come full circle and post here too

In that time I've gone from basically a Hotchkis TVS with AFX spindles to the top of the line TCI subframe and torque arm as well as upgrading from a ZZ4 to a Mast Motorsports LS3 427. Last night was my maiden flogging of what I call V3.0 of my Camaro. I haven't been that nervous in years. It was awesome ha ha.

I was so focused on paying attention to what was going on and trying to get my car ready and monitoring engine vitals that I didn't take any pictures of some of the other bad ass rides out there. The Black Widow truck was there, The Tapout Nova, Don's hotrod and at least 3 other muscle cars/trucks. If Jason from TCI sees this post maybe he will share some of the photos he got that night.

Since 2010 the track hasn't changed but they have changed the placement of the artificial chicane on the long straight. In 2010 it was placed near the middle of the straight which kept speeds lower, now it is placed 3/4 of the way down the straight so you can get a longer run at it.

My best time in 2010 under that set up was a 48.25 based on posts in this thread that I made back then. Last night I ran a best of 44.78. The car is completely different in every way. The handling is far far better balanced, much more HP, and better brakes. I was pleased with a 44.78 given this is the first seat time I've gotten in 3 years and first time on this track in 4 years.

Official time sheets listed them both at 44.78 though my timing equipment showed slightly different as you will see.



The track at Adams is so tight that my data overlay is hard to read but here is another illustration of one of my 44 second laps. Each yellow bar represents G's greater than 0.75 and less than 1.0. Each red bar represents G's greater than 1.0.





Oh and here are some pics of my car that Jason from TCI shared in my build thread:






I want to go back the 2nd half of August so if there are any other peeps that want to join speak up! I'm really curious if I can pilot my Camaro into the 43's...
