ZR-1s smoked 'em again!
 

The preliminary results of the Crown Point Corvette Club 6th Annual Corvette Shootout has the FBI ZR-1s again winning the TEAM TROPHY!! :fahne::fahne:

I'll post pictures and some videos later, but Kevin Costello's 441 "gave it's all", turning in the fastest speed, the quickest ET, third place in the bracket racing (before breaking down), and combined with the efforts of Bob's 427 and Petes 'lil 5.7, the day was carried AGAIN! What a great day for the ZR-1s! (If I had Dave McLellan's contact info, I'd send him the news too (hint, hint!:dancing)

A couple years back, there was some scoffing by a few in the C5/6 crowd when one of the Zs came to the line. This time around, the stands were pretty quiet: didn't hear any smack talk this year...just an occasional "geeze!', or "Wow!"

What a great showing!

Re: ZR-1s smoked 'em again!
 

Good meeting everyone. I am very proud to own a 4th generation ZR-1. Nothing like seeing a bunch of wide rear bumper ZR-1's kicking butt, taking trophies, and cruising on the highway!!!

Re: ZR-1s smoked 'em again!
 

Great job. The king is definitely giving lessons in royal sovereignty.

Re: ZR-1s smoked 'em again!
 

Way to go guys, surving up the LT5 humble pie to the C5 and C6 push rod crowd.

Re: ZR-1s smoked 'em again!
 

Phil,

The FBI ZRs fought valiantly on the battlefield. Needless to say there was some carnage. Most of us left rubber, but some were maimed and lost a 2nd gear, while the most heroic made the ultimate sacrifice giving up a main bearing. But in the end, we unleashed hell and emerged victorious.

Strength and Honor!

And as Maximus was carried by his men, so was Kevin's car pushed into Dean's trailer headed for ZR-1 Elysium
in Des Plaines and Pete's Garage.

Re: ZR-1s smoked 'em again!
 

That's great news. So were there any casualties on the C5-C6 side?

Re: ZR-1s smoked 'em again!
 

Our boys did a great job and brought the trophy back to the ZR-1 group.
But it wasn't without injury,on my 3rd pass took out my second gear.
Best I mustered was 11.30 it was good enough to bring it home.

We'll make them better,stronger we have the technology for next year.:cheers:

Pete

Re: ZR-1s smoked 'em again!

well it was fun to run the car after 8 years not being on a drag strip with it. I did not run any times that helped win this deal, but I did take one of the other club's car out in the first round, and than in the next round I got put next to Kevin! He was our guy to win this thing and I had to run him, what am I going to do......I know, red light, run slow, miss a gear, something to take me out so Kevin can keep going!

And what happened......as soon as I got up to the line it all went out the window for what I was gong to do, I just ran as hard as I could, Kevin went flying past me right at the end, and that is when it hit me, what did I do, if I beat him I am going to feel like crap!

as I turned on the return road and got to the booth for the time slip Kevin was already gone with his slip and I could not see what he got. As I got up their to get it all I wanted to see was a yellow paper not white, they hand me a yellow slip and I was happy, Kevin beat me, I am saved!

I look at the slip, and I broke out, all the better! it was my best run of the day. I was set up to run 12.300 and the slip was 12.2449.

the days runs in order:
12.5891 120.66
12.3589 121.62
12.3091 119.74
12.3479 121.65
12.3441 119.65
12.3609 119.39
12.3441 119.65
12.2449 119.74 and I lost.......yes

Dean,

Not too shabby for an old dude ;) Having the trailer there was great too.
We'll need to do this again. Don't forget the 1/2 mile event next year again.

Re: ZR-1s smoked 'em again!
 

Dean what mods on the car???

Re: ZR-1s smoked 'em again!
 

What mods are done to your car?

Re: ZR-1s smoked 'em again!
 

Mods.......

well about 3-4 years ago I need head gaskets as one had a leak, long story for some other time!

Took it to Marc (he is 3 miles from home!) and when I got it back it had 505 HP, best set of head gaskets I ever bought!

it has his 500 HP top end, stock rear end, stock clutch, and flow master, headers and no cats.

I think it was 430 HP to the wheels.

after 8 years I need more seat time to work on the 60 foot time now, 60 foot was:
2.1971
2.0689
2.0490
2.0399
2.1139
2.1100
2.1139
2.0851

listed in same order as my runs.

street tires, rear at 18 pounds and front at 80 pounds.
