another 04 se auto 1/4 mile tme

ok here it is,not happy with time!! weather was 88 degrees and 70% humidity, this is no excuse at all car ran what it ran. this 1st of all this is my fathers car i dont drive it all the time. second on the street if u nail it u get a nice screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch off the line and the car just takes off like a champ.... so 1st run tires where set at 30 psi and 32 psi in the back... right before i staged i nailed it up to the line and the tires screamed!! pulled up to the light, light went green i just stomped on it spun all the way through 1st and second spun passed 60ft mark, kept it nailed the whole way ran a very crappy 15.2 at 93.4 mph... i was very upset now, on the street i just floor it get a nice screetch out of the tires and i go, not at this track and usualy its a very good track... 2nd run i was like maybe the track is better now, ill nail it again so i stomped on it again nothing but smoke so i get totaly off the gas and than nailed it again, spun a tad more and ran a 15.1 at 93.9 mph.... i was talking to other people and they where so mad that there was no hook up, and on an avg there cars where off by a half second.. so judgeing by this the 04 max will hit a 14.6 or 7 on a good prepped track and better weather... there was a really cool guy there with an auto 03 maxima gle with just a cone k&n filter, he showed me timeslips of his car from april when he was there he ran consistant 2.2 to 2.3 60fts and always ran 14.6s at 95 on all 4runs he did back in march. his best run in arpil was 14.48 at 95 icing down the manifold.. lastnight he ran a 15.2 and another 15.2 at 89 and than 91 mph.. with 2.4 60fts, my first crappy run was 2.5 something 60ft second was high 2.4s 60ft... so as far as i can see its not the car it was the track.. but for a humid and hot night trapping almost 94 isnt bad... than to top it off on the way home i stopped at a traffic light and floored it just to see how much i would spin, i had a nice chirp and just took off like a mo fo.. so it was the track i wont say track there was just no hookup there..so as far as i can see that made me run low 15s.. the car is very capable of running 14s easy... by the way the car was 3580 lbs with me in it.. im only like 120 pnds... so the car is like 3460 without me in it.. so there u guys go the times will only get better when and if i go back with better traction and i get more runs to practice the launch, and they prep the track better, mid to high 14s isnt a problem for this car... with my spec v i run 15.3s all day long on an avg and on the street my pops 04 max will beat me from a dead stop by about 4 cars.. high 14s is good enough for me, but i do think mid 14s is very capable.. I JUST wish i had more than two runs... i would have gotten it in the 14s if i had more runs.. evan with crappy weather and bad track..
