So I knew some people having a drag day last week. It was about 100+ degrees and very humid. I just don't get my drag times. Why are they so slow with all my mods? (Mods can be seen below in sig)

FASTEST SLIP
60' -----2.130
1/8th---9.222
MPH----78.63
1/4-----14.211
MPH----99.75

SECOND FASTEST SLIP
60' -----2.136
1/8th---9.213
MPH----78,46
1/4-----14.215
MPH----99.49

THIRD FASTEST SLIP
60' -----2.198
1/8th---9.255
MPH----78.31
1/4-----14.259
MPH----99.19

 

Atleast you are consistant.. Its the heat and your 60ft needs some work. But if you running street tires, that can be tough. Once it gets cooler you will have a better time.

You are picking up 21mph in the back 1\8th. Your shifting can improve aswell. You want to pick up around 22 to 24mph. Are you powershifting?

When i was still n/a i would trap 99/100 in 100 degree weather and then trap 102/103 in 50 degree weather. The temps are making your cars ecu pull alot of timing.

Also knock that 60ft down some and you will go a couple more tenths.

 

You just answered your own question

If you give me the location of the track (zip code), elevation, the date & time, I can calculate the DA's for you just for your future reference.

.

 

yeah i think theres a little improvement there in the 60 but the heats gotta have some play in this coz thats not typical with your mods..

 

Only hardcore racers are out there is July and August. When I am dumb, and decide to race in the summer, this is the best that I can do. I can run 13.4X at the beginning and end of the season. But in the summer, forget it.

 

and there you have it!!

 

I think your S2k Antenna, PIAA CF Wipers, and CF Dash Kit are slowing you down!

 

lol...



I haven't even attempted to go to the track this summer. Yesterday it was a record high of 97 degrees and it felt like 105. Ain't going nowhere with that temp!!!

 

Nope I did not powershift.

Maryland International Raceway

Elevation: 80 ft above sea level

27861 Budds Creek Road
Mechanicsville, MD 20659

Date I went-- 8-2-2007
Times I ran the fastest 2 runs. 10:15 and 1:30
I ran about 15 times that day.

 

Density Altitude was ~2190 feet. Corrected, that is about a ~13.81 @ 102.55mph.

Unless my math is hosed today. Still early and on my first cup of joe.

 

So I can expect to trim .4 off my time in the fall?

 

I don't know about hardcore racers......just people who shouldn't expect the best possible time from their vehicle.

 

I went there yesterday and could only get in 2 runs, both of them were in the 15s =( i just kept spinning and spinning. it's hard to get the technique down when they only give you 2 chances to run. btw, how'd you go on the 2nd? it doesn't even show MIR as being open on the 2nd (on their online schedule)

 

yeop...dont ever go to the track in the summer

 

Come to our track day in September and you will see 13's...

 

The Car club I am in rented out the track on November 3rd...if the weather holds...I cant tell you how sweet its going to be.

good runs...

 

There was a Car School I think (ITT TECH) who rented out the track that day. There were like 70ish cars running. So I got lots of runs out of it.

 

I want to, but I will be in class on the track day till almost 7:45pm. So, unless I skip class I can't make it.
