The track was shitty, it had rained during the afternoon and they still opened it up, but there was muddy grass and puddles of water on the lanes to line up. I paid to run b/c i wanted to see what i can do with the drag radials for the first time. Well, i sucked with them, but i didnt lower the tire pressure either so that didnt help much. Here are some of my runs:
Reaction: 0.824 0.674 1.07 0.702 0.735
60ft: 2.2 2.4 2.4 2.5 2.6
594: 8.553 8.783 0000 0000 0000
mph: 81.08 80.79 0000 0000 0000
time: 9.108 9.343 9.400 9.497 9.624

I bogged some of the launches, hence the high 60ft times. I was running 14psi but spiking to 16psi in 1st gear. I had my drag tire pressure at 25 which is still a little high. I will get into the 8's, but i want to do with 13psi and learn to launch with these tires. I want 2.0 60ft times.

lower yoru pressure to 20psi. 2.2 60' is not so bad.

I am gonna try and go again soon, i will lower my pressure to 18-20 and run again. Hopefully i will get a 2.0-2.1 60ft and the track is prepped better. They didnt even keep water in the pit to heat the tire up.

wait you ran a 9.1 in the 1/4? How is that possible.

You see, there are these things called 1/8 mile tracks. Anything below an 11 will most likely be from there around these parts.

especially if the mph is only in the 80's...

Damn, come on 9.1 in a 1/4 mile :nuts . I got my laugh for today. I still havent went to the track again, i am anxious to hit low 8's b/c i know i could. I blew a hole through my transmission(dont know how)so i am gonna buy the neon tranny this month.

Yeah you should relize a 9 in a RS is definitley a 1/8 track.

Nice runs though, keep practicing and I'm sure you can hit your goal.

That pic is from the 2004 DSM Shootout.

Most agree that a good estimate of an 1/4 mile time is to multiply your 1/8th mile by 1.553.

In this case your best run would've equated to somewhere around 14.1, give or take a couple tenths.
