I went to the track for the first time last night. I was kinda nervous and did not know what to expect.

I ran 11 times and got a best of 15.06/91.66 and second best was a 15.07/91.32. My lowest 60' was a 2.23. I think 8 of the 11 runs had 2.2# 60's. I ran on a 1/4 tank of gas, with no spare, jack etc, and my HEAVY,HEAVY 18 in rims. Tire pressure was front/30-back/40. I was consistently running 15.1 and 15.2 the whole night.

I found out that my best times were coming when i left it in third gear. I always had wheel spin, sometimes more, sometimes less. I really need to work on my reaction times. My fastest r/t was .881.

The humidity was around 70%, and it was 87 degrees outside. Basically i was sweating my a$$ off. Don't know what the baro. pressure was.

Overall I had a good time and next time i will put my stock rims back on and hope to see a 14.8 or so.

 

nice... we have similar mods and are both running about the same.. you'll shave off a little more...

 

Excellent job. Where do you guys find these tracks where you can launch so hard? Pulling 8 2.2 60's out of 11 runs is amazing.

and I got a 1.9 once

 

...and did't you screw that run up after that?

Just havin' some fun with ya'

 

They were having competitions in between our runs. They would do quick 8 domestics and quick 8 for motorcycles. I dont know if that would help any but I seemed to be hooking up pretty well.

 

Sounds like they were probably applying some VHT traction compound. Regardless, good job. You're destined for some 14s in slightly cooler weather.

VHT is like soapy water for street tires.....NO TRACTION....
