The 2008 YearOne Experience - Street/Strip Challenge
Dale E. Wade
Dale knew he wouldn't be in the money running a 13-second car, but he loves to race and desired the experience of it over everything else. A carb linkage adjustment and slightly higher launch rpm netted him a best-of-the-day 1.95 60-foot and a 13.82 at 95.90 mph on his second pass. "The track was very good, probably the best I've been on," Dale says. "My GTO hooked up well and went straight on three of the five runs. The other two I spun because I didn't heat the tires enough." What Dale didn't realize at the time was that for the duration of the event, his GTO was running only 24 degrees total timing. What would it have run with 32 degrees? "I enjoyed comparing notes with the other guys," Dale says. "And it was the first time I ever cruised with a police escort." View Related Article
