MODS: I know this will get moved and thats cool. Just wanted to share it with the V6 guys first.

Ok, this is the first time I got to take the car to the track. What a blast!!!! First impressions: I need a lot of practice!!! Keep in mind I did not use the juice (Zex) today!!!!!

So here are my results (on Pneros):

1ST Run

• R/T: 1.104
• 60’: 2.302
• 330: 6.517
• 1/8: 10.032
• MPH: 70.10

2nd Run

• R/T: 1.308
• 60’: 2.352
• 330: 6.572
• 1/8: 10.079
• MPH: 70.57

3nd Run

• R/T: 1.156
• 60’: 2.376
• 330: 6.627
• 1/8: 10.165
• MPH: 69.75

I did a couple more runs, but they were all like the above. Like I said I need a lot of practice. So I sent Scrming an email from my BB, and asked him for some tips. He had me do the following:

• Remove some air from my rear tires
• Increased my shift pressure up 20% with the XCAL2
• Launched at a higher rpm (above time slips was at 1800, I launched next at around 2200)

So by now I’m used to staging, dialling in, etc. The runs above were against Mustang GT’s. This time, I get paired with a 1994 Acura Integra on juice. I actually watched him check the system while we were staging. So on my best run, I did get a bit of tire spin, but I did spank that darn juiced Integra, details as follows:

Best Run

• R/T: 1.076
• 60’: 2.271
• 330: 6.466
• 1/8: 9.961
• MPH: 70.76

So what I took away from today was I’m officially hooked on going to the track. I need to improve my reaction time, and I think I can launch better. I also think I may switch to different tires due to tire spin. So next weekend, back to the track!!!

Definitely need A LOT of practice!


EDIT: Here is a copy of some of my time slips (I'm car no. 55):

Thanks MSP! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img] You're right, I can do better. And I will. Next weekend, I drive an hour and a half back to the track to practice some more.

I'm still happy as can be that I beat that juiced integra.

Sweet dude. Don't worry, this post won't get moved. Mine was the only one to ever get moved.

Ok, I'm going to look into it this week.. If its not raining, and the track at Sears Point is open, I'm going...

Anyone who lives in California in the Bay area, I am ready to go anytime.. So if there is any info you can provide thatnks!!

Ok, this week is dedicated to making our way to the track guys I promise.. Plus, on the streets, I cant really open this thing up without fear of cops.. They are all over the place.. I need somewhere where I can just let her run wide open until the tires fall off!! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrinjester.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img]

Ok, this week is MSP's Track investigation week..

is that a challenge? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrinjester.gif[/img]

Rygen,

if you want to, extrapolate your times to 1/4 mile, and then post them in the new timeslip section [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img]

Thanks Galaxie! I prefer to leave my times as is. I only ran a 1/8th track, thats all I can be certain of. When I go to MIR or one of the other 1/4 tracks, I will post then. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]
