COPO testing begins

3 runs today had to lift at 1100 feet hit the chip working on everything great car spinning and hitting the chip still ran much better than expected and a fine race car I am more than happy all the way around. And the support from Gm has been top shelf 😃

Nice run! That thing left so soft too. I can't imagine what it will run when it gets dialed in!

1 step at a time, 1st pass destroyed the tires, only made 3 passes.

First round blew the tires off next softened it uo to get down the track still spun and had to lift at 1100 ft

What does it weigh? To run an 8.88 it must be making well over 800hp.

Hey Paul, very nice car, Congratulations. What class are you going to run?

Looks like a big headwind too. I would be very happy for first time out for sure!

I got out of work late on Friday and heard it was up at Dunn Tire. I got to the track at about 8:30 but I saw the tractor and trailer sitting on the pit entrance lane ready to head home. I talked to a motorcycle guy and he said that they got 2 time trials in and then the race was called. Oh well, I will see it soon enough.

Lots of work to do more testing this week. Yet to make a complete pass but the Gm boys made a hell of a car it's like driving a Mercedes
