Default First Runs of the season

Well the track officially opened today. Took my car there andthe place was jampacked! I only got 3 runs in. First one my clutch pedal stuck to the ground (recall my *** ) ran a 22sec@59mph.
Another run, my friend took it down the track for me and ran a 13.4@105mph.

After lots of spillage and car running into the wall, I got my final run for the day. Didn't want my pedal to stick to the ground again so I did a conservative launch around 2.5k rpm. Had massive wheel hop and ran a 13.079@108.90mph.

Really happy about my trap speed

Heres a break down of the slip:

60' - 1.962 (crappy for DR's)
330 - ---- (their 330' sensor was not working)
1/8 - 8.476
MPH - 83.28
1000 - 10.972
1/4 - 13.079
MPH- 108.90

Love this time of the year. I will try again soon to beat my PB. YAY for tracks opening!!

Great job. Once again, the HR is picking up 25+ on the top half.

I wanted to go the other night, but had other priorities.

The way the car is running now, I fully expect to beat my PB easily, and possibly see similar traps 108+, at one of the better tracks.

You should come down for the DNI event, on March 16th.

Looking forward to the track day.

Great times. I'm assuming the DA's were very good.

Wish we had quality tracks like that down here in SoCal.
