Alright, so I went to the dragstrip for the first time today with near blad tires, a full tank of gas, and a sub. Explains my bad times... Not going to list them all, too many.

1st run: 15.861 @ 88.87
3rd run: 15.733 @ 88.13
Last and best run of the day: 15.701 @ 88.06

I couldn't hook off the line at all because the tires are just about bald, putting my Pirelli's back on for the next trip and I'll have my sub out and hopefully less gas. Got about 20-30 runs in for the day. Best run at the track all day was a Camaro running 8.91@153

 

what kind of car?

 

post the whole slip.

 

I'm guessing the car is a 2.4 SS??

Yep

 

u got 20-30 runs in? was there like nobody there? our track ur lucky to see anymore then 6 unless it looks like its going to rain and nobody goes

 

thats some good 60 foot times damn i feel like **** now even tho i had my subs and a full tank of gas also and my tires are shot and i blew a hole in my exhaust last night but my best time is 14.75 in my tc, i couldnt launch right for **** i was getten so frustrated and when i got my very last pass i launched almost perfect and fucken missed 3rd gear so it sucked but i think i might not be hitten my throttle hard enough cus im trappen at like 75's and that **** sucks but im still learnen the car so all in all i guess i had a good night.

 

he can get them down even more, i pulled a 2.2 60 foot on my stock pirrelis in my bone stock 2.4. 2500 rpm launch, quickly feather the clutch and get it off the line

 

Not a lot of people go. You can run down the track, come back and wait like 10 mins max before you're at the line again.

 

haha you got better 60 foot times then I do now and i've been to the track about 5 times lol .. but i had shitty winter tires.. now that I have good tires I should hook.. then again I wont be NA next time i go i don't think not bad times though man.. I couldn't cut under a 2.7 60 the first trip to the track

 

i tried that last night and it wasnt working out for me, i even took my tired down to 28lbs and still but its ok ill be back next weekend and im gonna take all that **** out of my car and make sure i have no gas.

anyone ever run that alcohol they sell at the tracks? hows that work out...

 

This year im hoping for MAYBE a 2.1, since i got brand new, wider tires.

 

pretty good times. Right on par with my old bone stock '04 lancer ralliart.

funny though, my lancer ralliart had WAY more topend than you do.

my 17.5mph back half pickup vs your 13mph or less. weird.

 

14.75 isnt bad but 75mph. it that a 1/8mile.

 

Shoulda picked up more mph on the back half. I've run 74mph at our local 1/8th and even at horrible IRP i was picking up about 20mph on the back half with a 72mph 1/8th

 

Yea I really felt like the car was lagging in 3rd gear, it felt like I was just casually accelerating.

 

 

it also looks as if that's what was going on. lol.

 

i picked up almost 20 mph in the back half of my run but my 1/8th mile MPH was only 69 mph

 

your right it was a 1/8 mile track, like i said im still learnin alot about the car and we are tweakin each other so but yea that track is short so i guess 75 is good but the closets 1/4 is 3 hours away

 

same deal here. I got a 1/8th mile strip like 2 miles away. But the nearest 1/4 is KCIR and it's damn near 3hrs.

 

yea, that sucks monkey *****

 

Ya, 3rd gear was when everyone would really start pulling away from me. I hung within 2-3 cars of a G8 GT until I hit 3rd and then it turned into bus lengths as he ran a 13.5. If I had more power in my 3rd gear I could run 14's no problem. I have enough power in 1st gear and 2nd gear's just about to it's max without spinning when I go from 1st-2nd.

Here's a few other cars that were at the track running and some of their times that I can remember:

99-04 V6 Mustang running 14.6 (had a lot of engine work done)
04 Mustang Gt running 14.3-14.5
LS1 Camaro running around 14 (He kept spinning at the line)
Trans AM (unknown year) running low 13's
Evo running low 11's
Corvette Z06 running mid 12's (kept spinning at the line)
Fully Built Camaro running around 9 (kicked off the track after running 8.91@153 because he didn't have a parachute)
S-10 running low 16's
Prelude running 15.1 (he had has launch down unlike me )
Nissan 240 running 15.9-16.2
Monte Carlo SS running 15.8-16.3
06 Cobalt SS running 13's (he was looking for 12's but couldn't hook up off the line all day)
supercharged buick running mid 14's
A few fox body's all running mid 12's
V12 BMW running low 13's (sounded SOOO nice!)
G8 GT running mid 13's (best pass was 13.41 I believe)
Diesel Ram 3500 running low 13's (looked like he may have blew his motor early in the day because he spent nearly all day working on it and never hit the track after like 3 runs)
There was also a bunch of older built cars running 10's and 11's.

 

it would be fun to try and organize a michigan track day in the late spring/early summer...

not bad by the way....

 

ya, I'd prefer to have it at Lapeer and not Milan though. We'll get so many more runs in at Lapeer and Milan is a 2 hour drive for me.
