beerbongs first time at the track! ::video and timeslip inside::
Well, this is how it went. After pulling an all nighter getting my car ready (Quaife LSD install, tranny install, motor mount install, taking exhaust off, etc...) I finally had everything done and just had enough time for a shower before we had to head down to the drag strip. The jimfab motor mounts make everything rattle, but my whole front end is rock solid with that and the LSD so it's worth it. I was planning on running my nitto 555r drag radials, but my friend let me borrow his 22 inch MH slicks. Again this is my first time ever at the track and I have never driven on slicks. They said try launch at 6000 rpms and I was like are you sure? They all gave me a few more pointers and then I was ready to go.
I rolled up in the lanes waiting until it was my turn. I Threw on my 21 dollar eBay helmet and drove up to the burnout box. The best part about doing burnouts on slicks is when you actually get out of the water onto some dry road and it slams your head into the seat because you have so much traction. So I stage and rev her up to about 6000 rpms or so and I kinda try slipping the clutch a litte bit and before I knew what happend it was already over. I picked up my timeslip and saw a 13.5! I was pretty excited that being my first run. I actually bogged down a little off the line launching at 6000 rpms so I tried launching at 6500 to 7000 rpms and just dropped the clutch which gave me my best time of the day 13.304 at 102.82 MPH. My dial in was 13.3 so I got pretty damn close to breaking out. I kinda got caught sleeping on the line on that run so I ended up getting eliminated (import challenge), but I was still pretty happy with the run.
My car is fun as **** with a LSD and slicks and I am defintely hooked on drag racing with slicks now. My 60 foot times were all 1.9 and I was trapping 102 MPH all day. I did a few runs with my drag radials and got a 13.9 and 14.0, but I know I could have got a little better with a good launch and more practice. I was getting 2.3 60 foot times with my drag radials and trapping 102.
My goal when I built the car was 13.9, but I am going for 12's now seeing how well I did my first time out. I was running 10 psi (boost controller issues) and I hopefully next time at the track I will be runing a solid 12 psi. I think at 12 pounds and more practice on the slicks I might be able to pull a 12.999 run which would kick ***.
All my times in order...
13.5 @ 102 (slicks)
13.8 @ 99 (slicks) *blown cooling fan fuse so my car was overheating on this run*
13.4 @ 102 (slicks)
13.3 @ 102 (slicks)
13.9 @ 102 (drag radials)
14.0 @ 102 (drag radials)

I always thought you were supossed to roll all the way past the water before you do your burnout. Not like I know, I always just drive around the water.

Re: (turbozxi)
That timeslip I posted was of the skyline and I racing so he ran a 12.2. Not sure how much my car weighs, but it's stock 95 EX coupe. I should probably take it to a weigh station sometime though to find out.

as far as i know, you're suppose to roll into the water and roll out just a little and then start doing the burn out.
but otherwise...nice runs!

Yeah I thought you were supposed to roll through also, but the track I was at everybody was just burning out right there in the water.

yea good thing you rolled through. if you did it in the water you would kick up a lot of water into your fenders and when you get to the line it would just drip all over your slicks and you wouldnt want that. nice runs

Re: beerbongs first time at the track! ::video and timeslip inside:: (Alchemist)
Since I won't be able to borrow those slicks everytime I go to the track I have been looking into getting a pair for myself. I really liked those lenso wheels so I will probably be getting some of those 13x7.5. What size slicks do you guys recommend I get? At 10 psi I am making about 215whp/180wtq, but I might be running 12 psi next time at the track. I am also planning on building my motor over the winter with goals of 300whp. I will probably be getting gator axles when I build the motor also. My 3rd gear tops out around 90mph and my 4th gear tops out around 125mph so I am kind of in between gears going through the traps right now. I am guessing the 22's should work fine, but once my motor is built will the 22's still work?
I am using a Y8 tranny, quaife LSD, stock axles, tire pressure on the 22's were at 10 psi. I started out launching and kind of slipping the clutch fast around 6000 rpms and it bogged down. It hooked up the best though when dropping the clutch from about 6500-7000 rpms.
1st Gear 3.250
2nd Gear 1.909
3rd Gear 1.250
4th Gear .909
5th Gear .702
Final Drive 4.250

I bought my slicks off my friend. I will be trying them out in about 2 weeks...I'll let you know how they go. They are Mickey Thompson ET Drags, sized 24.5x8-13. My wheels have no insignia on them, but I think someone told me they are Diamond Racing Wheels. I'll let you know how it goes.
Oh yeah...I don't have my car lowered, so I don't have any scrubbing issues. I know David had to trim his bumper and roll his fenders to get them on his car, but he had like a 3" drop.

102mph speeds is pretty damn quick.

Re: (racinskittle)
Thank guys. So does anybody have any advice on what size slicks I should get? I did a little searching and it seems like 22x8x13 would work for now, but will I still be able to use those after I build my motor this winter? I just don't want traction problems once I am making more power.
