What are the stock 1/4 mile times *average* around here?
With the elevation/non-humid air factors.

 

low 15s in calgary

dont expect much better. the altitude and conditions there are a biatch

id say good driver mod might find a 14.8 in that mess maybe.

im just gestimating though.

 

Lame
My neon ran faster than than when it was n/a with only bolt-ons :<
*sigh, oh well.

Gonna have to work on my driver-mod for this car anyways

 

i ran a 15.1 First try ever at a track. i could of easily been in the 14's.. i only got 2 runs in too..

 

Is it that busy here?

 

With some basic bolt-on, you can get low 14's. My best time is a 14.3 and I think Jekyl has gotten down to 14.2 or 14.1 on street tires.

I'll be at Race City this Friday. Just watch for the Saturn with the loud 'charger.

 

I think I'll be at Race City on friday. I might do a run or two, depending on how I'm feeling! :O

 

I ran 14.1 at 104 mph on street tires in Calgary. I ran 14.0 on slicks on my practice run, then broke my axle so i couldnt get a good run in.

Stock cobalts run low 15s in calgary. Only one so far has hit a 14.9 and the air that night was the best air the track has seen this year.

I dont think anyone will be beating that with a stock cobalt at race city.

I ran 13.93 @ 102 mph in mission on street tires. But the car isnt running right, I should have ran faster, I am having belt problems. Read my thread in General Cobalts about that.

So yeah. there you have it.

 

I am VERY determined to hit a 14!
:/

 

i know brandon got 14.9
my first run out was 15.3
same with pascale, but i heard she got a 15.1

so i need to get out and run better

 

Come out on friday, we can make it an official meet, order pizza, and I'll get the strippers and beer!
Yesssssss

I'm a decent 1/4 mile driver, was able to hit the best E/T's in a few of my friends cars
We'll see though, never dragged this puppy yet, so I'll need to learn a few things!

 

Just be warned, these cars have some pretty nasty wheel hop...

 

So I've heard

 

Hey watcher, I am willing to bet 2 bucks that you wont run better than a 15.2.

So come saturday morning, if you post a timeslip with a 15.19 or better, i will owe you 20 bucks.

I am so confident becuase I have 65+ passes experience in this car and I know how hard it was to get used to the first time out.

But anyhow..... good luck.

 

I know, it just makes me cry deep down inside

 

Cody you got that wrong. The air was nothing great that night. It wasn't the night I ran 15.7--if thats what your thinking.

 

ahh, I thought it was.


anyhow!!! my wager still stands.

 

You gonna be out at the track tonight Jek? :/

 

jekyl you owe me 20 smackers i ran a 15.1

 

Haha, the bet was up for me!
And alas, I could not pull it out of my ****!
These puppies are hard to launch...
Only got 4 runs in, but I had a wicked launch on the last one :O
Followed up by missing 3rd, lolol

 

yeah i know i just wanted to point that out and actually i just looked at my time slip and it said 15.23 i was mistaken unless i imagined that 15.1

 

yeah you woulda had me if you wouldent of missed that gear lol, that was the most exciting run of the night..

 

*looks around for his time slip that says 15.1 et* I know its here somewhere........ lol

 

I managed to watch you guys do a run together. With practice, I'm sure better times can be achieved. It takes a fair bit of practice to learn how to launch these cars. Last night, My best 60' was only a 2.299.

 

MUAHAHAH I was right.

Do not doubt the Great Jekyl with all his wisdom.

still, I give you props for running a 15.2 your first time out.


Ask Ed how to launch. I taught him well.
