Alright track day

Thunder Valley Dragways
Elevation Approx. 3,300ft
Temp Approx. 67degrees F
Humidity:?

I couldn't hook up at all. This track requires you to go through the water pit and thats the main reason why. My 60ft's were consistant 2.5-2.6 and a few at 2.8 running roughly @15.5-15.9@89-90.5mph. I was also springing my 0304 code and reset the ECU a couple times. It seems as though a 2,200rpm dump clutch gave me the best 60ft times that day. After my 4th run, I thought my muffler went south on me as the car started to develope a nasty growl/hiss. As it turned out when I got home, the noise was comming from the CAT area. It appears to be over-torqued and there is now a leak at the gasket.

1996 Maxima SE 5speed
stock

Best run against a silver 2002+GTi (not sure on mods, didn't hear anything)


I'm on the left lane

reation --- .064--------.349
60ft -----2.406-------2.557
330ft---- 0.000-------0.000
1/8mile--10.006-----10.272
MPH-----71.162-----71.748
1000ft---12.893-----13.091
ET-------15.477-----15.576
MPH-----90.377-----91.950

I didn't run with my Y-pipe because I decided to selling it right after I put it on too I just came to the conclusion that I don't need it and am putting it in the FS section.

Actually I checked out Sioux Falls Racing forum and asked him. The GTi has a couple mods including a downpipe. His best run that day was 15.1 with a 2.4 60ft time. He let his friend drive it to 14.9. Basically the water-pit was killing everyone on street tires.

I was also able to do back-to-back runs with no more than 2 mins of waiting between runs. I think thats what led to my rear cat gasket to leak. I was able to get 19 runs within an hour and half of time.

why do they make you go through the water? That makes no sense at all.
