Alright guys, here are my slips..I'll get them scanned as soon as I go to my parents house and post them.

A couple things for you guys to keep in mind.
1) First time ever at a race track.
2) 90+ degrees outside
3) 130+ degrees on the track
4) 5,500 ft above sea level

1st run vs. 1969 Camaro SS, 355ci, 425HP

Reaction: 0.5747
60 ft: 3.1759
1.8 Mile: 12.6641
1/8 MPH: 58.35
1/4 Mile: 19.0203
1/4 MPH: 77.40

I won! She jumped the gun and ran a red light!
I had some serious issues with traction on this run. Peeled the tires through all of 1st and 2nd gears!!! Never done that before!! Dropped the clutch at about 4K rpm which flooring the gas! Whoops

2nd run vs. 1973 El Camino SS, 350ci

Reaction: 0.6783
60 ft: 2.7317
1/8 mile: 11.5921
1/8 MPH: 60.38
1/4 Mile: 17.9376
1/4 MPH: 76.32

I lost, the guy ran a 17.34! Too bad the El Camino was in less than perfect condition.

3rd run vs. 2002 Crown Victoria! Their engine blew up in their camaro, so they pulled out the loaner!!

Reaction: 0.7338
60 ft: 2.6731
1/8 Mile: 11.4777
1/8 MPH: 58.82
1/4 Mile: 17.8301
1/4 MPH: 77.45

Not too bad. I had a decent launch, no tire squeeling, but I still had to play catchup on this bitch in this car!!! I won, thank God my car runs faster than a Crown Victoria!!

END OF MORNING DIAL IN TRIAL RUNS!

4th run vs 2002 Crown Victoria...AGAIN!
This is for real, this is single elimination, must win to stay in!
Dial In: 17.80

Reaction: 0.6521
60 ft: 2.4886
1/8 Mile: 11.1624
1/8 MPH: 59.93
1/4 Mile: 17.4651 !!!!!
1/4 MPH: 76.69
Off Dial: -0.3349

Dammit, I lost. I did have my best run of the day, and I don't feel it would get much better than that with my current mods @ this elevation.

Kind of dissappointed, I thought I would hit 16s, I actually thought lower 16s, so mid 17s is quite dissappointing. I hope the elevation had a lot to do with it. I did still walk out with 2 wins 2 loses. Not bad for a first timer!

Let me know what you guys think of my times!!!
Now I have somtething to compare to when I go turbo.

Same here also, very disappointed with my times on my first time at the track (2003 Battle of the Imports), I was running 17.60 all afternoon & night so when the real races start thats what I dialed in and kept winning till there's only four of us left out of 80+ cars(semifinals) and I took 4th place. Up to this day, I cannot believe that I took 4th Overall Place in a Major Event on my First Time in the track.

I wouldn't feel too bad about the times the first time out. It takes a bit of practice to launch. Keep at it as long as you're having fun.

...and that 4th place on the first time out is awesome. The only elimination I ever dialed in at was this years East Coast Mitsubishi shootout in Englishtown - I lost first round. Oh well, maybe next time.

It is hard to say witht hat heat and at that altitude what a good time would be.

I'm sure, even with the heat and the altitude, you could get that 60' time down more. I know, you said it was your first time up. Well, make sure it wasn't your last time up, keep practicing.

Thanks for your input guys. I definitely don't plan on this being my last run, but for sure my last run, STOCK! Or basically stock. The next time I will take that car on the track will be with a turbo

hey good runs, but like they all said 60ft is soo important!! specially in our cars, we have the chance to hit 2.4's close to stock. You said that you had some traction problems, right? what kinda shape are your tires in? and if your really having that much trouble with your traction maybe you should try slipping the clutch more and don't dump that just makes it worse usually. try different rpms' to start at, it's hard to practice off the track but get a feel for slipping the clutch out at like 3200 if your stock and on street tires until you get better at it. First time i went to the track i hit a 2.4 60ft but my engine dropped and i had a bunch of problems i ended up running a 35 second run. Your doing great specially for high altitude, the air is thin and it was hot. Never be dissapointed with your first time, as long as you finish the run. There is always a way to improve on your times.

temp. makes a HUGE difference...just for an example...my friend has a Typhoon (turbocharged SUV). Anyways...at 90 degrees she ran a 15.9, at 80 degrees she ran a 14.6, at 70 degrees she ran a 13.9 so yea...temp. makes a huge difference. at 90 degrees i ran 2 17 sec. flat times.

2.4's? Are you kidding? My first time to the track EVER, I ran a 15.5 with a 2.1 60ft. The car only had a short ram and catback, and thats it.

I know no one else gets those times, but 2.2's are definitely doable. Just learn how to launch and you should have no problem clicking off 2.2's and 2.3's. Good luck

hhmmmmm i ran out to my car really quick, my GS doesn't have an X at the end.... launching an AWD is nowhere near as hard as fwd. launching an fwd is like some people say an art, either you can do it or you can't. but practice helps. "2.2 doable" yes it is when we upgrade suspension so we don't have as much weight transfer. 2.0 haha your not talking about a stock 2gnt!!!! 2.4 i consider very reasonable for a stock 2gnt.. but that's just me and my .02
