i ran a new best time! it was a cold and long day! i dunno if it was worth my entire sunday. but i got a little money back plus a big trophy so i guess not all was lost. got to the track at 9am. my first run wasn't until 12:20pm! i was next in line to run then they had to clean an oil slick on my lane. i wasted my first run when i left it in neutral as the light went green (i fell asleep haha). my first round was against my teamate's integ type R w/ NOS. i beat him because he redlighted. second run was vs an older generation supra turbo. we both dialed in 14.5 so it was heads up racing! i got lucky and beat him because i let off at the end. i ran a 14.40 and he finished at 14.38 and broke out more than i did. semifinals was against the very same red C36 AMG 2 weeks prior at Etown. he flat out beat me. it sucks to lose, but i got pretty far in the competition. i will be back to beat him and win a race!
1st RD VS integ type R w/ NOS:
me> dial- 14.5 him> dial- 13.9
RT .814 (eww) .476 (redlight)
1/4 14.78@94.11mph (too much slippage) he ran 14.651@103.79mph

2nd RD VS pre 94 Supra Turbo:
both dial in time of 14.5
RT me> .640 (still sleeping on the line) him> .696
1/4 14.407@92.82mph (i let go of the pedal at the line) he ran 14.388@99.48mph so i got lucky!

Semifinal RD VS the same red C36 AMG i beat at Etown
me> dial- 14.5 him> dial- 14.26
RT .644 (dammit i lost because of this slow @ss RT) him> .562 (he so wanted revenge, well he got it!)
1/4 14.525@94.55mph him>- 14.324@89.07mph he was on the brakes! i got worked. lost by .0438sec. i'll be back. maxima's can hang w/ the best of them! he got his revenge, but this is only the beginning.

 

congrats... I'm impressed with your times as always

 

Very impressive times!

 

nice times

 

14.4 with only y-pipe and intake! crap i want a 5-speed and your driving skills

 

Today was one hell of a day for maxima's! Congrats dude.

 

damn i wanna go to the track sometime

 

I kind of feel like busting out the G-Tech right now! To bad it's so late, I would wake the folks up .

 

lol

 

thank you. now, does anyone have a strategy they follow in bracket racing for dial in times and VS several types of cars? does anyone consider engine temp, air temp, and other environmental factors? i could use all the help i can get! thanks for any help. all i wanna do right now is beat that red C36 AMG again and stay on top!

 

GREAT JOB!!!
