Went to the track tonight with MaxedOut97SE

heres the links to the timeslips, I don't really understand the first one since we took off at about the same time, and we finished about the same as well but I guess the timer was messed up, any other thoughts anyone?, are mods are catback exhaust he has a stillen intake I have PRCAI, I have a ACT clutch though, but i don't think it made too much of a difference, not bad runs for it being about 35F outside

images are too big but links will work

I take it from the times this was a 1/8th mile track? I live in knoxville and I never knew there was a drag strip, where is it exactly?

btw I think I've seen you around town a few times.

you do know that it being 35F helps you much much more than it hurts you?

those are pretty decent times. if you could get your launch down a bit more, it looks like you could break into 9's...

Pheww!!!! You guys need some work on your racing techniques. MaxdOut was running his own race. LOL!!!!

You redlighted a lot . You guys are suppost to wait until you see the 3rd yellow and then gun it. Your reaction time doesn't factor into your total 1/4 mile time so you don't have to worry there but practice will get you close to .500 sec but you have to wait for the 3rd yellow.

Your 60 foot needs to drop to get a good 1/4 time and thats what I'll be working on this year (I hope I don't brake anything doing it). I need to see if I can hit 15.5 in the 1/4 while I'm stock and I'm close.

Did you guys drop your tire pressure?

I didn't red light Maxedout97SE did, No I have run 9.9 before I just couldn't get any traction cause I had some old tires on the fronts, i didn't want to wear out my 17s, plus it being 35F hurts your times because it makes it harder to get traction, my buddy took his M5 for the first time and was runing 9s and then once he got his tires nice and hot he ran an 8.88 which is damn good at this track considering a 530rwhp Supra Turbo ran a 8.83 when I was there once

It seems like the first timeslip shows that the driver to the right when a little early thus the foul.

thus the screwed up 9.6 that is says he ran, because he should have at least ran a 10 flat everytime after that if he ran a 9.6 we just added a .4 reaction to estimate a 10.1
