I just got home from the high school drags. I was one win away from getting a trophy. I think i did pretty well for the set up i have but please let me know how i can improve.

This was my best of about 5 runs. I couldn't break 15's. Maybe i should have unhooked my exhaust. My set up is a LS motor in a 92 CX. Ghetto intake and header. 2 1/4 exhaust with no cat. thats all tell me whatcha think

R/T -.036
60' -2.338
330 - 6.403
1/8 - 9.725
mph - 73.66
1000 - 12.609
1/4 - 15.021
mph- 92.12

 

practice makes perfect... a couple more times and you'll break the 15s...

 

what do you think i need to improve most? my 60 foot? It was hard o not burn up the tires. some of my other runs my 60 foot was like 2.4's. so like a 2.3 was my best

You can always work on your 60's. The technique of launching with little tire spin and best grip wont come along overnight. These are great times for a novice...good job!

What tires do you have and what pressures were you running?

 

i have some kuhmo ecsta's on the gsr fat fives. Tire pressure was at like 20 psi.

 

Did u almost win in bracket racing? Like when u just have to be consistant, the most consistant wins.

 

here are my times from today. not what i expect AGAIN, but i did manage to improve by .2 seconds.

Dial In - 14.9
R/T - .754
60' - 2.405
330 - 6.476
1/8 - 9.762
mph - 74.95
1000 - 12.576
1/4 - 15.074
mph- 89.99

what color hatch were you in? i was in the red del sol with gunmetal painted del sol rims.

 

THats about the correct pressures. But as much as I like the fat fives theyre heavy son of a guns.

 

how many rounds were there?? i got eliminated 2nd round for beating my dial... 16.225 w/ dial of 16.4 bleeh

this was best run
r/t - .220
60 - 2.534
330 - 6.962
1/8 - 10.602
mph - 67.09
1000 - 13.763
1/4 - 16.421
mph - 84.96

 

What track was this?

 

ya thats what i was talking about. there was a few hundred cars and if i would have won i would have been in the final 4 cars. i did well. i was between a 15.02 and a 15.11 through like 7 runs

 

i was in the white eg. It had a black bumper. now that you mention it i think i remember your car we were next to eachother for the first round. the track was pacific raceways.

 

i got eliminated in the first round. i don't get how the other guy won, because he dialed in 15.1 and ran a 15.4 while i dialed in 14.9 and ran a 15.0. i thought it was whoever got closest to their break out time without going over?

 

i think like 8 rounds

haha i remember now. you had the same dial in time as me.

 

when i got eliminated i thought they messed up too. so i went and asked a track worker. You subtract your actual time from your ET then add your R/T. SO you lost because you must have had a shitty reaction time.

 

ya i remember you. Are you from Foss? abd are you running are you running a b16? what are your mods?

 

well, i graduated from foss last year but i got my friend to make me a foss id so i can run.

i have a B18C1 in there and as for the mods you can see them in my H-T garage in my sig. i'm starting to dislike going to the track and only getting like 3 runs in. what waste of $25.

 

just go on friday you can stay alllllll night long......its kinda nice to pull the hood off and kewl down the beast around 7 or 8.........hey matt those times suck dude....nah j/p thats kewl....you going friday. we should get hella people to go. I got 2 sets of slicks

 

i'm like addicted to going now. i've gone 3 times within a weeks span. i think i'm going to give it a rest for several weeks, because i'm getting low on funds and my poor car needs to take a break.

 

u goin matt??? i hope i can get into the 12's..... yeah i like goin to TNT cuz u can usuaully get like at least 15 runs in........plus i finally got a day off.

I just wish i had my uberdata ready!!
