Default First time at track.

Nothing crazy but it was the first time I have ever been to a track. Setup is: 92 cx, jdm gsr swap, drag turbo kit running 10 psi. Skunk 2 coilovers, kyb agx's in the rear, 17" heliums on kumho 712's. Track was very crowded so I only got two runs. First run was against a STI.

R/T --- .477
60' --- 2.382
330 --- 6.165
1/8 --- 9.187
MPH --- 85.28
1000 --- 11.671
1/4 --- 13.812
MPH --- 107.19


2nd run was against a girl in a old Mustang GT.

R/T --- .490
60' --- 2.201
330 --- 5.892
1/8 --- 8.807
MPH --- 87.48
1000 --- 11.294
1/4 --- 13.385
MPH --- 107.53


Like I said nothing crazy but I had fun. For like 3 years I have gone to the track with my friends but never had a car I could run until now. Well any comments both good and bad are welcome. Thanks for looking.

very nice for a first timer. now go invest in some drag radials or slicks and watch your time drop close to a full a second...good job

Were you spinning a lot? That first run boggles me, as you hit 107mph with a 2.3 60' and only got a 13.8, did you mis a shift?

Yea I was there he did miss 3rd on that first run, the car should be able to hit 12s with some more seat time.

no redlight. Yeah I did miss 3rd on the first run and would have beat the STI if I wouldn't have missed it. The STI ran a 13.5 on that run and the girl in the mustang she ran a 17.5...lol

MPH is good for mid 12's but, that will lower some w/ traction. High 12's on slicks easily It's fun isn't it

It was a blast. I don't know what kind of power I'm making but I feel like the car had more in it. I wished I could have made a couple other runs and launched it harder. My friend has some 25" slicks on bogarts but I was afraid they would be overkill for me and since this was the first time at the track I wanted to get a feel for the car.

I'd be happy with a mid 12 on slicks but overall I'm still happy.
