Default Racing the '69 Camaro.

Another beautiful day in the Ozarks yesterday, so I thought I would go drag racing, this time with the ’69 Camaro.

Man..what a ride. I need to stick to slick tired race cars. The first pass I pretty much spun the whole 1/8 mile, after that, peddle in first, try to peddle in second, and when hitting third, even then loose. About the only positive, I did some awesome burnouts, FC style, pass the tree..

I gained a whole new appreciation for Rob and the other guys who race on those tires. I could not get within a 1/2 second of what Rob did Friday night.
