5124, 15.3s again in the 1/4 mile, but 91.46 mph this past friday
Posted by VX100, Apr-30-06 05:53 AM
Back at it again on friday. I am starting to get a better feel for the car again, and it showed as I was able to run 15.3 again in the car. (Sorry, no new best 1/4 mile, I'll try harder next time :) ) Good night for racing too, 8 runs and that was with a 1 1/2 hour delay cleaning up after an old muscle car wiped out into the wall.

This time however, one of my runs hit a 91.46 MPH in the 1/4 mile. So the car has more top end, it's just not translating into faster times as of yet.

And sine I jut got two trips to the track in two weeks (the track is not close to home, or work, or anything!) I will probably wait until the import event on the 20th of May for my next trip.

Can you upload a slip or just write down all the info, r/t 60ft, etc.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet. Was wondering when you were going to get back to the track...

I was also wondering when I could get back! Unfortunately I had no choice but to wait until April because that is when they open up again.

Here are two slips, I am just writing it down, it's easier to do. One is best 1/4 mile time of the night, and the other is best MPH of the night. You can see what a better or worse launch can do to you time and your trap speed.

60' - 2.271
330' - 6.443
1/8 - 9.909
mph - 71.47
1000' - 12.888
1/4 - 15.377
mph - 90.73

60' - 2.394
330' - 6.551
1/8 - 10.032
mph - 71.12
1000' - 13.027
1/4 - 15.524
mph - 91.46


If the weather holds, the next time back is the 20th. Import wars on a Saturday.
