Default went to the track... got some times for the accord people

im content... my best run was a red light ... it's ok tho

Capitol Raceway
Crofton, MD
temp: 55F
humidity: 40%

R/T ... 0.479
60' ... 2.241
330 ... 6.758
1/8 ... 10.127 @ 69.02 mph
1000 ... 13.241
1/4 ... 15.854 @ 85.70mph

im trying to get my ACT installed soon because the factory clutch is really not gripping right. my last run at the strip could have been the fastest.... except the clutch wouldt grip until 5k

p.s. that was my best 60' to date.. im consitenly in the 2.3's


mods: I/H/E, short shifter

i think those are pretty good numbers, what tires are you using? What did you launch at? Are you getting flywheel along with the clutch install? btw capitol is a nice dragstrip been there many times, what color is your CL?

im using stock dunlops @ 22psi...

launching at 3k getting off the clutch quickly.... but not sidestepping.

no. no flywheel unfortunately.... maybe i'll order one.

you should do the whole deal at once IMO. can the clutch wait or is it really really bad? What does Capitol close?

eh... i just really want to get the ACT in and done.

Capitol doesnt have a set closing date for test and tune.... is what the lady told me.

as long as there are enough people that come out, and the weather is good.... racing is on.

(im sure they close when it gets to freezing temps.... all that water in the box and all)

Do the flywheel too. You'll be happy you did. Its usually a favorite mod of those who buy light flywheels.
