So I went to STEELE yesterday.
Best of the day was a 14.66 with a 2.4 60 foot.

The track was cold and I didn't get any traction all night. I usually hit 2.2s on my 60' all the time. I didnt hit it at all last night. 2.3s were my norm. Even if I didnt spin at the line I would still spin starting at about 4000 rpm all the way to red line in first gear.

I tried to throttle back a few times...nothing worked
i couldnt not spin
so based on a 2.4 with a 14.6 i figure my car is capable of 14.3 in optimal conditions
i mean a 2.2 is a 14.4 right there and i have heard that .1 on the 60 foot is equal to .2 or more off your 1/4 mile time.

**(I almost forgot, IT ACTUALLY SNOWED FOR A FEW MINUTES)

so i guess ill have to stop guessing and try to get to the track more so I can drive my car under the best conditions.


This is the second time I have been to the track with mods. Last time being mid-summer. I need to go a bit more I think.

 

your car's got it. keep practicing! what were the rest of your numbers on that particular run (mph, etc). that clutch must make it hard to adjust huh? oh yea, i might goto atco on tuesday and try my luck this year for the first time. i wonder if i'll have any runs close to my personal best.

 

i know exactly who SKR is...you need to let me know what happened man


ps-ill get my timeslip scanned for you later today

 

Don't worry about it. It takes time to adjust to new mods. I mean I had to re-adjust my launching technique when I even got my y-pipe. So a clutch is really going to make you change things up a bit.

When I get my clutch maybe we can meet down at Steele soon!

 

you don't need to scan it. just list the numbers. i believe ya hehe. as far as SKR, i was dealing with john to get my S13 motor into my 240sx. basically what he did was screw me over for a lot of money and nothing in return. just a bad scenario. hard lesson learned. when it comes to money, it doesn't matter how much you trust the person you're dealing with. business is business.

 

damn that freaking sucks man. i dont know where the slip is right now...its floating around my car somewhere...but i figure when i find it ill just scan it cause i planned on doin it anyways

 

you better hurry. this is the last month of my Max in Georgia until August!
