Went to the local speedway in Irwindale, CA to try out my 1/8 times.
I just decided at the last minute to go so I was totally unprepared.

Specs: 98 GXE Auto, Frankencar, Y-pipe, catback, UDP, 17" rims, temp was about between the 80-90s, raced with 3/4 tank of gas!! (doh!)

I did 4 runs, 3 of them with my full interior (subwoofer, spare, jack,)

my best run out of those 3 was:
R/T: .713
60': 2.337
330: 6.691
1/8: 10.239
MPH: 70.13


For my 4th and last run, I pulled the drop resistor, and someone was able to watch the stuff in my trunk so i took out my sub and spare but left the jack.

R/T: .420
60': 2.358
330: 6.662
1/8: 10.164
MPH: 70.98

What do you guys think? Is that whats expected with those mods??

 

congrats on going to the track for the first time man...those numbers are great my first time i went to irwindale i was running 10.1's and i had a 5spd.... also the trap speeds are high just with more practice and time im sure you can get your numbers down...

 

my first time at the track, my best run of the night looked like this:

0.657
2.472
73.65
10.125

it was an 1/8 mile track and I had empty trunk, 17's, 1/4 tank of gas, y-pipe, intake

 

Good Job Billy ! I just went for the first time too. We had a hot day also 91 degrees - 85 humidity. My numbers were much like yours.
