My first pass at Englishtown on Saturday lined me up against a 2002 Blue ZO6 Vette. I already had had the guy in the lanes tell me "I see you're gonna be trouble already with that 12.00 already on the window. If you run 11.80 or better don't even bother coming back". I'm tuned for 10.90-11.00 and figure I'll make a few 1/8th mile passes on the brakes at the end to try and get a good 60' with the new wolfebar. Well, when we are a few cars back from going (I still have my passenger window down, it was hot) the ZO6 guy lifts the shield on his crazy pattern motorcycle helmet and yells "good luck" with a little salute. I just gave him the "ok" sign realizing he's being more naive than cocky. So when I line up I pay most of my attention to the lights so I can cut a good one, which also means I didn't really bring the boost up enough. Anyway, he cuts a .569 to my .580 and then I was gone. I ran 11.98@86mph (98mph in the 8th) on the brakes to his "I'd better quit before I actually lose 17.30@36mph". I asked him later "what happened on that run"? He said his tires went up in smoke on the launch so there was no point in finishing the run. I have a feeling he was a first time Vette/ZO6 owner that had no idea about GNs.....I guess he knows now
