Hot Lap Fun - Wearing 'em out!
 

Whether it's Test n Tune, Grudge Racing or time only runs, tracks are normally incredibly crowded these days and we sit and wait for what seems like hours to make a pass or two.

Having said that, let's discuss another scenario when things may have been a bit different. Maybe an opener or a cold night prior to the track shutting down for the season.

Let's see who has the CR record for most runs in one day/night!

I remember one very cold October and the racing was basically a loop. I'll count my slips.

Working at speedworld we always brought up the kid on street car night with a 16 second car that made 28 passes on a cold Friday night.

I made 33 passes in my 67 Chevelle on a Friday night a few years ago. ~25 was a regular Friday night for me.

He said it was "a kid"...but thanks, Slugger.

Last year I was doing some testing on the cooling system on my newest Stocker.

In a 36 hour span I made 34 passes with the car.

On the closed hood cool down test session, I made 6 passes in 59 minutes. The span of those 6 passes from slowest e.t. to quickest e.t. was .04 seconds within that span of time. It was 90 degrees that day.

Back in the day about 1971 I went to Union Hill raceway now called Music city they had a round robin race for stockers I had the same combo as now 427/425 69 Camaro it ran b/sa then all run til I winner then all run again except the winner for 2nd race then all run again except the winner in a third race Was any body else there! I went 6 or 7 rounds I think maybe more and I lost in the final I could run about a tenth off the record then which is how they spotted you I then got in the second race another 6/7 rounds and lost again in the final got in the third race another 6/7 rounds and finally won ! I think it payed $700,$5oo,$300 what a night ! I still have some pics from that race

I've made 16 in three hours at Mission, three runs within 6 minutes too which is kind of a feat when you consider the return road exit back to the burnout box is nearly a mile of posted 10mph speed limit... which gets stretched a little.
