Almost stock (exhaust) ss/sc

I was pretty impressed with myself for my first ever time at the track.
very first run was a 15.2

very last run of the night was a 14.929 @100.40 mph

considering an elevation of 2373ft. Its a pretty darn good time.

Timeslip: Im car# 0067

Ps. the car I raced was a Corvette

 

I see you are having trouble launching it with that 60'. Get it down to around 2.2 and you will have much better times. Good job on your first time. Its a blast isn't it? It gets addicting.

 

Thanks!

Yeah I was having a TERRIBLE time with wheel hop. I just couldnt get the launchs at all. I think I need to tighten my torque dampner and then I'll feel more confortable launching harder.

You're right its a blast and addicting!

 

Yea thats a great mph considering the altitude and 60'!! You practice that 60' and you will be in the 14.4-14.5 range at that same altitude. whish I had that kind of top end charge!!

 

considering you are at 2373 ft. and still trapped 100mph, that's possibly the worst track time ever. 14.9@100! are you kidding me. I'm not trying you hate man, but that's terrible. Go buy some sticky tires or something.

 

Dude, its was his first time at the track. I bet his next slips will be under 14.5. Give the guy a chance!

 

What we got a drag master here? O your times suck, your first time is always the ruffest. Good times for first time you beat me .

 

He's not even stage 2'd either(at least his sig doesn't say), chill. Great time for a mayden voyage! Practice makes perfect, you'll run better.

 

[QUOTE=bigrroberto;2281281]very last run of the night was a 14.929 @100.40 mph

Jesus christ! Spin much? Last night I ran a 13.9 @ 99.8

 

Thanks, and no Im not stage 2

Thanks

Yup they will be down there next time for sure.

I dont think I mentioned that it was also opening night at the track. It wasn`t exactly in the best of conditions, or so I was told.

 

the track sucked ass rob, dont worry, everyone had issues, the v8s were side ways at half track still, very bad prep.

 

bad track prep FTL.. i had a stage 2 LSJ (IRL) running LOW 14's @103+ average at 2700ft.. and a 2.4 60 for any FWD car was amazing at palmdale on stock tires.. i never got to run DR's and solid mount's.. so ill never know what it could have really run when pushed hard.

 

All you do is talk bad about others track time...Find something else to do


Not bad for that hight. Like others said get the 60' down and you'd be golden.

 

Thank-you

I know I have to work onn the 60' time. There just wasnt much more to be had from that track, that night.

We also had a stg2 redline with us. All he did was spin all the way down the track. He best time was a 15.1, it was pretty rediculous.

 

well he cant drive.. lol

 

that may or may not have been part of it

 

he was spinning thrid gear at halkf track still....

hell with my 245's I was spinning second and I am n/a the track was slick

 

back off , you have no idea wtf your talking about.
i spun SLICKS down the track all night.



good run rob. very respectable considering the track was glass lastnight and there was no heat in it.
the track will get better as they put more events on, and hence more rubber/vht

 

HOORAHHH!! lol

For an idea of the temp outside, my car was warning my of ice possible....

 

haha yeah thanks!

I was happy with it.

I saw your one run, it was crazy how all you did was just spin. Too bad you couldnt have stayed around. I know by the end of the night you would have been in the low-mid 13's again

 

Dude, dont stress the people on here.

Each track is different...no 2 tracks are the same.

Have it be that maybe the track is slightly downhill (Byron, IL), or the staff is bunch of complete idiots and make you wait 1min+ after you do a decent burnout and get your tires sticky, or the track prep just straight up blows.


Dont worry about it...the first time ive ever ran at the track, i ran a whopping 18.6...granted i had 53 miles on the car, and was on low grade gas...

But with the change of the track, premium gas...and my car being broken in (5k+ miles)...i was down to a 16.3 average.


Now im down to a 13.5

 

long story short, NEVER use esso gas, i think they are filling the premium with 87 or something.

i was down about 30hp lastnight.
filled up with husky 94 today and picked up 9* of timing *sigh*
next week will be far better hehe

 

qft!

your're absolutely right. thanks!

 

congrats on a new hobby

now that you've tasted the track, just do your best to keep your racing on it

 

ahhhhhhh brutal. I kinda figured there had to be something up.

Yeah lets hope for the best next week
