3919, First Time Running the 1/4 Posted by WickedESi, Feb-08-04 01:12 PM
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 :cheers 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.

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.
