First Time at Track

Only got in three runs.

Had tires at 26psi and tried different launches at 2k 2.5k and 3k.

Here's my best run


[IMG][/IMG]
Im car 528 on right

I also ran -- 14.1 at 104 -- 14.48 at 105 (missed gear) my 60 foots were all horrid, around 2.5. Was hoping for a 13 second run but JUST fell short.

Had a good time. Got yelled at twice. "TURN YOUR LIGHTS OFF!" and "PUT YOUR WINDOW UP!" haha

I know about the windows, Are you sure the guy wasn't telling you to put them on? At a certain time before it gets full on dark, or track tells us to PUT on our lights.

Next time you go to the track lower the pressures to 20-22 my best is a 13.97 @ 103mph. Only thing done to my Cobalt is a drop in K&N Filter. Good time though.

Thanks man I'll give that a try. Looking at the vids it seems I was spinning too much. Maybe I'll ease off the line a little more next time.

1/8mile tracks dont normally make you, at the 1/4mile track by me if you dont roll them up you can't run

Also OP nice runs for first time running at the track

With some practice those ets will drop, I also made some Runs the other night and managed a 13.3 @ 108 with just a drop in filter and trifecta tune.

Your 1/8 mph is there. Get the launch down and the ETs will drop. There's at least .500 to be taken off all together.

Cecil is definately the track to go to if you want to get the best time out of your car.

It was crowded. All six lanes pretty much full. I was there at 6 to close and only got 3 runs in.
