#3919, "First Time Running the 1/4"
Feb-08-04 02:14 PM by WickedESi



          

Well here it is,

R/T .669
60' 2.433

330 6.729
1/8 10.274
MPH 67.96

1/4 15.926
MPH 86.79

It's in the 15's but I was wanting to run at least a 15.7, I ran the 1/8th before with much, much less mods, had a shittier 60' than this run and got a higher mph than I did for this run's 1/8 mile trap, so I know there is room for improvement.

I bogged in first and then spun through half of second :/, and w/ yokohama avs tires w/ low pressure in front, and my tokico shocks at 1 in the front and 5 in the rear.

Such shitty driving

I did reach my goal though of getting in the 15's before I turbo my car.

BTW, what does W/S for class mean?

Good job man! (Wish I could've came down to get some times too. lol) The last time I ran the 1/8, I pulled a 10.12 @ 74. Now that I've got a 60mm TB, motor mount inserts, EVO catback, and a ported polished intake manifold, I should be decently quick. =P BTW, my friends 3/S should breath its first booosted breath tonite! 5-7psi. w00t.

get your 60ft down to 2.3 where it's supposed to be and you'll hit your 15.7 1/4 mile mark.

That's a good time. You can defenitely shave another tenth or two if you keep working on that launch. Very good for your first time out
here's to faster runs in the future

No matter how much street racing or stoplight racing you do, people always feel nervous their first time at the track. I know I did. You know everyone is watching you and if you screw up, they'll know. It will definitely get better with experience and getting used to being at the track. I ran a 10.4@67 with a short ram, blown struts, bald tires, and a slipping clutch. My average run for that day was a 10.6 though. That was about a year and a half ago. I have so many little things I need to fix on my car so I can see what it will do now. Keep it up, and I see better than a 15.7 run in your future.

EDIT: I just realized this wasn't your first time at a track since you had 1/8th times before. But being at a different track can be a little intimidating as well.



Lets just say this... I'm over 100whp and soon to cross 200whp. Thanx 2GNT! Now if I could only learn to prove it.

Yeah, I wish I could blame it on being nervous, like I was the first time I ran the 1/8th, but it was more just an adrenaline rush this time.

A top of the other conditions I listed above I think that my rear motor mount (despite having ES inserts) is broken, and my halfshaft is FUBAR.
