This week"s “Drag Race Monday” video comes to us from the CCD Racing Channel on YouTube and it features a 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 making a few quarter mile runs. Unlike previous videos that show the LT5-powered Vette struggling to get near the 10s with the manual transmission, this car reels off back-to-back 10-second passes in his C7.The DetailsUnfortunately, there are no details accompanying this video, but this is the 2019 Corvette ZR1 owned by YouTuber StreetSpeed717. This car is stock with the 7-speed manual transmission and in this video, it is making a few passes at Cecil County Dragway in Maryland. This is the same car that spent the day stuck in the 11s a few weeks back, but this time, he is able to cut a ton of time dipping into the high-10s in stock form.Of course, it should be noted that Cecil County is a particularly fast track due to its elevation and surface prep, but in any case, this YouTuber and his Corvette are finally turning respectable numbers.The Racing ActionThe video above shows the 2019 Corvette ZR1 making three passes down the quarter mile. The first run is against a Dodge Challenger R/T that we happen to know runs in the low 12s followed by two runs against a heavily modified Ford Fairmont station wagon.On the first run, the Challenger gets out to an early lead with a better reaction time, but we can see that the ZR1 quickly catches and passes the Dodge well before half-track. We cant see the big board, but the guy filming the race is kind enough to call out the elapsed time of 10.95.On the second run, the Ford gets out to a slight advantage at the starting line, but the Corvette stays close enough through the early stages of the race to get the win with a 10.94.Finally, on the last run of the video and the second against the wood-paneled wagon, the Chevy once again stays close at the starting line and the ZR1 quickly catches up around mid-track, but when the driver misses third gear, the run is scrapped and old Ford gets the win. We don"t get an ET for that last run, but with StreetSpeed717 missing a gear, the run was likely up in the 11s.Crank up your speakers and enjoy!Join the LS1Tech forums now!Tags: 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, C7, drag race monday, LT5, ZR1
