HackAbuse's Track Day

Well I went to the track today for some good old bracket racing. I was disappointed.
It was 93 degrees out with 90% humidity, and the best I pulled off all day was a 16.52 (last time I went to the track i ran consistent 16.40)

I got in two test runs and the first round of bracket races.

First run (trial):
Reaction - .609
60 ft - 2.5679
1/8 ET - 10.791
1/8 mph - 67.18
1/4 ET - 16.655
1/4 mph - 83.02

Second Run (trial):
Reaction - .533
60 ft - 2.518
1/8 ET - 10.7431
1/8 mph - 67.23
1/4 ET - 16.594
1/4 mph - 83.19

Third Run (bracket 1):

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/2...4201706fee.htm
Dial in - 16.50
Reaction - .431 (Foul )
60 ft - 2.478
1/8 ET - 10.699
1/8 mph - 66.64
1/4 ET - 16.5241
1/4 mph - 83.75

I was kinda stoked and pissed at the same time about the third run, i was pissed because I red lighted, but at the same time I was stoked because I was paired up against a pontiac firebird (automatic), which was given a half second head start. By the 1/8 mile i had caught up, and by the 1/4 mile i had a good car length on him, which was pretty awesome

I have some video, but its not really exciting or great, so idk i'f im gonna bother to upload it or not lol.


Overall it was a good first experience with bracket racing, i want to go back sometime.

He had a .5 second lead and you red lighted by .432. Sounds like he would have beat you if you hadn't gone early. Still very consistent. I hate going out in the first round b/c I never feel like I get my money's worth

actually he had a .57 second lead, and I redlighted by .068 seconds (green light is .500 seconds, I went at .432), do the math, lol

Yeah I love how it sounds, It's just a pacesetter exhaust with a swapped fartcannon
