Went to the track tonght
 

So i went to the track tonight with my slow cobalt :D

Started off with some great 15+ second runs (no seriously) i had major jitters

After i got my nerves down i started running some 14.0XX's and then the ththe newe best run of the night
13.903@103.18

I was so happy with my run, and all runs were done with my crappy stock tires, i have some new yokohamas going on next week so i can wait to go back.
So now i understand the need for speed so there will be a few more things ordered over the next month

and the one that counts

For those not in Alberta, Castrol park is approx 2200 ft above sea lvl so i am really happy with the times

Nice times :)

very nice! Jeykl should come upi and race you.

I hope Edmontons alt can knhave me running under 15.5

Congratulations to you!

I like your debadged trunk too.:)

nice times man:twothumbs :cssNET:

Yeah man, that was awesome... for the record, Car 1298 on Jame's 13 second run is me. :lol:

It was my first time ever and I had alot to learn in the first night...I started off in the 16's and got progressively better times as the night drew on. My best I ran a 15.14@ 96.32 MPH... not bad for a first timer, and I know the car has more in her, just have to get more expirenced.

things I learned were how to successfully launch the car, avoiding the most wheelspin and wheelhop (I need a torque brace REAL bad.)

Adjusted the tire pressure from about 50 to 25 after the first 3 runs.

After the first few runs, I was told to ease out of the clutch and then step on it in first at around 40km/h, much better results and pretty much eliminated the wheelspin, minimal wheelhop.

there was one run I was sure was going to be the high 14 second run I was looking for... I didn't let the tranny cool down enough and missed second.

Practice makes perfect.

Good runs Jmac.


Actually I am in drayton valley right now with my car.

i was eating at the three kings tonight and a blye ss s/c parked next to me. i never saw or talked to him but i thought it was cool. I have my cobaltss.net stickers on my sides now so hopefull he saw them and will check out the site.
