Tracy Lewis, owner of the RevXtreme shop and Forum-sponsor, took a customer & their car to Lakeland Motorsports Park's 1/8-mile drag-strip on Saturday 6 December, to assist them with some shake-down runs:
after selling his Black C5, he had driven the shop's LS1 Camaro to the track, and entered the Sportsman/Foot-Brake class.
The Camaro has the shop's intricate 'bracket-tune' program in the computer, which sacrifices some all-out performance, but gains consistency & reliability, which is needed when handicap-start, dial-in bracket racing.
Between turning wrenches on the customer's replica Yenko Nova (he even left the track to buy supplies for the Nova bewteen time-shots), he made a few time-runs, all in the 8.54 - 8.56 range (low 13s), with decent Reaction Times:
when the smoke cleared, he took home the First Place money with another 8.54x run in the Final Round.
