scratching my head again...but i broke 13's
 

last day at the track for the season best time was

13.98@101.49 with a 2.2 60'

second best time was 13.98@100.78 with a 2.1 60'

still scratching my head about the trap speeds

03 Track Z with popcharger, crawford hfc, stillen catback, motordyne spacer, bfg kwd 2 tires

on a sidenote my buddy ran 13.7@103 with a 2.1 60' in a brand spankin new 2007 g35 sedan with only 300 miles on it...im impressed and jealous

wow nice time for the g35 sedan.

Your trap is low for sure, it would help if you posted your 1/8 info....

I don’t see any time slips. Maybe they are blocked by my admin.

:icon18:

Hey TopNotch,

If you dont have a scanner just take a pic of your Timeslip and post it up.

Thanks
Todd

i didnt post slips cuz i came home late and was too lazy to do all of that lol ill post them when i get home but from what i remember for the 13.9 runs it was

2.2 60'
80 mph 1/8
13.9@101

2.1 60'
79 mph 1/8
13.9@100

but again ill post them when i get home.

there was another guy out there with an 03 track model z with popcharger trapping 100 but with a 14.3 best e.t.

shouldnt i be trapping like 103 at least?

If you are running better than 14.0 seconds, that’s good. 100 MPH is not unusual.

We need 1/8 ET. 100mph is on the low side for a mod'd Z. I felt like my 101mph stock trap was low, it surely had another 1-2mph in it in better conditions....

damn so looks like i got one of the slower engines from the factory? oh well nothing a built engine wont cure :icon38:

i have the time slips right in front of me so ill just write them in instead of putting pics up of them unless somebody requests the pics

On your 2.16 0ft, your 1/8 is only a tick behind what it could be. Good driving there, you just need to workon getting consistent launches and 2.0 60fts....

yeah im just happy i got it down to a 2.1 any tips on getting it lower?

Im hoping a set of camber arms will decrease my 60'.

What are your mods?

03 Track Z with popcharger, crawford hfc, stillen catback, motordyne spacer, bfg kdw 2 tires

and i assume you mean decrease instead of increase your 60' time right?

Well yea, I think I ment to say improve my 60', but whatever.

For your mods, I would say that your trap is a little low. I would hope that even with a crappy launch you could still easily break 100mph. Its late in the year, so I assume the track conditions were pretty good, so Im not too sure why your traps are kinda low.

The trap is a bit low. You should also see better times with better launches. But remember, most of the people on here with good, low times live in place with better weather conditions for drag racing than you do. Diff place, diff car, diff driver means diff times. Don't sweat it. Just work on your launches.

yeah plus sac raceway isnt the best one around its crap they dont prep it like they used to for the weekdays...they only do it on saturdays which is $50 instead of $15, but oh well im just happy i broke into the 13's with a 2.1 60'.

HOWEVER, you should be breaking 13s easily with your mods.. you have more mods than I do. :D Like I said, work on the launching and you'll get even better times. Keep us updated.

Hey what were your 60' foot times? You're stock right?

Nope, not stock. Back when I was stock, the best 60' times I could manage was about 2.1/2.2 as that was my first time ever at any type of track. Now, I have like 5 drag strip nights under my belt (I'm a pro now :D), so my 60' times have gone down to 2.0.
