For the more knowledgable, assuming decent consistent driving ability, how much do you think a non-prepped track and unavoidable waterbox could hurt 1/4 times for our cars?

 

Well.......... On the same day.. I lost .5 after it rained and they "re-prepped" the track in 30 mins. But I am by no means an experienced drag racer but that still tells you something.

 

youd be dead wrong.

 

LOL, this stuff is confusing to me.

I vote that the smart guys on here PM each other and get a sticky made to explain this altitute and density altitude and humidity and stuff. I'm lost too. (And I'm not one of the smart guys, I am confused like I said)

 

ill post up my slip soon, the track was un preped also, if that means anything...

 

Just means you have to drive even better to get a good time.

 

ok here is the exact times:

0.343 R/T
2.257 60'
6.222 330
76.41 MPH1
9.439 660
12.140 990
98.54 MPH2
14.545 1320

 

damn...you bounce the top of second or something? You pulled just as hard as me through the last 1/8 (22.13 mph compared to my 22.8 mph). But your right. Cars are slower cause your air is SO THIN, right anom?

My guess is just that you arent hittin it hard enough in first. Once you have traction, at 3.5-4k rpms...floor that bitch.

 

so what looks wrong? bottom 1/8?

 

nothing looks wrong, for your traps speeds, those times look right.

 

you can question it all you want.
but your just going to make yourself look silly if you think DA doesnt considerably affect drag racing.

 

humidity and air temps play a roll much larger than the elevation. period. How do I know? Living in florida, ive run in 100% humidity, 83 degree weather and trapped 94...on a cool night, trapped 98 in the same car. But yet...this guy has the same pull as me in the top 1/8...explain...

Plus, look at your own car. trapping 106? Thats mighty quick for not too many mods, don't think youd creep near 110 in 'lower' elevation though cause you wont. You'll be pretty much as fast there as here.

 

wow,
you really dont have a clue about DA do you.

and what mods do you think i have anyway?

 

damn i wonder what my friend could run whit S2 when he ran 14.2 bone stock. i think with a good lunch, you got 13's

 

yea, make sure to eat light on your good lunch. lol.
