Ewww...Did you torque brake?
What did you launch at?
2.4 60'?...Did you have a lot of wheelspin?

I thought autos with your mods would run about a 90mph trap...?

 

tb'd to 900RPM and I spun a little bit on each run(slippy tranny)..

oh yea, I have 197k miles original everything.

 

good job ! glad to hear you getting out there and going thru some gears !

 

Any tips? other than new tranny because that is soon

 

5speed conversion? Or built auto

 

Get a 5-speed, with those mods you should be in the high/mid 14s.

 

are you serious?!?!

 

+1 on new auto.

...but if I were in your shoes then I'd do the 5spd swap. Look at my mods...and I'm 14.6 right now. Our mods are alike.

 

Buy my MEVI...

 

gimme your 5spd, and I'll be good

 

You hold the record for most posts ever before first time at the track I think luke. Also those are good runs for your first time, and good runs for a 200k mile car.

 

That is not to shabby for the first time out

 

Practice makes perfect Luke. Good times!

 

Hopefully the next time we go out there, I will be with a new tranny (if I am not still poor/no job). Oh and the weather is getting cooler out by the day

My other two runs went as such:

r/t..... .587
60'.... 2.581
330... 6.859
1/8... 10.352
MPH.. 71.17
1000. 13.329
1/4... 15.878

u went to morrosso(sp)?

 

yes

{10 char}

 

Moroso is a SLOW SLOW track. Look at my 18 second run I did.

I ran faster in the right lane then I did in the left

 

That is just inconsistancy. It's not the lanes. I really doubt it. All the nice tracks I've been to around the nation, both lanes are identical and they make sure of it. If they aren't, then bracket racers would be upset!

I got a chance to run in both lanes and they are identical!! I would have ran identical times if I didn't chirp on the launch on my 2nd run.

I have run at 2 tracks that the lanes are different. One in Carlsbad, CA. It's a CRAPPY track, I have photos on my site. In the left lane, I'd see 94 and 95 trap speeds and in the right lane, I'd see a 92 and 93 mph trap speeds. Pretty crazy huh? That's a BIG difference for me. When I bracket race, my traps won't vary more than .5 mph.

 

gtr, Looks like you chirped on each of your runs from a launch, that could affect some times a little.
