First trip down the 1/4 in my custom '72 Corvette

This is my first time racing a stick shift, so still working on my launch. The car is my '72 Corvette with a Magnuson supercharged LS6. I had four runs that night with a best of 12.07 at 118 and a worst of 12.94. Getting off the line was difficult with street tires, and I spun badly on two of the runs (no video of my worst run). Can't wait to get some videos on a road course! That's my nephew at the end.

Hey man, very nice vette. PLEASE tell me what brand and size the wheels are. I have got to put those on my 73. Oh, and even though you were slow off the start, you still put up a pretty good 1/4. Wish mine would run like that!

@texascagematch If you look at my other videos I have one called, "Corvette Walkaround" or something like that where I explain everything about the car. Message me and I'll send a link with just about all the questions you can think of answered.

a better launch on some MT Drag Radials would put that car around 11.70 ets' & possibly pick up a MPH or two. good job on the 12.07 et.

You know, irregardless of the shifting and reaction time, the most important thing is, "DID YOU HAVE FUN"?? I will bet the answer is HELL YES!!!! That is a very sharp corvette. Did you do the work yourself?? How about those fender flares? I really like those and will eventually sell my 69 GTO and 76 Trans am so I can build one similar to yours!!! More videos please!!

Lol. Silly honda. what was his excuse for being smoked so bad?

[XxBlksnshnxX]

That CRX almost had you. Two or three more stickers and a fresh coat of black spray paint on the hood and the Vette is toast!
