Didn't miss much. There was too many cars, a car spewed oil everywhere so had to wait for that, weather was warmer and humid than I would've liked, etc. I only got 2 passes in during the 3.5 hours I was there. Needless to say, my times were horrible.

A pathetic 13.5xx sec @ 103.xx mph with a 1.9xx 60'. I guess last time will be my peak for a while. I don't see myself beating my 13.212 anytime soon. I may just give myself a nice long break drag racing until Fall. I'll decide after May 11th. If I don't like the results, I may even go back to stock exhaust and sell my current exhaust set up. If I get pissed off enough about my sh1tty times, I may even spray much sooner than I anticipated (still after I hit 12.8ish). I'm hoping that today was just a real sh1tty day, so I don't do anything I mentioned above.


edit -
Hopefully, it's because
1. my ECU only saw me get on my car once, so it didn't go into race mode (which usually takes 10+ runs)
2. today's weather was in the 80s and high 70s with a ~50% humidity
3. I bogged real bad, hence my 1.9xx 60'
4. I'm human too so I have my bad days

I dont know what your talkin about. A 1.9 60ft is really good on street tires....now if you were on drag slicks.....then yeah you had a bad day.

I was on slicks. But the thing is.. many ppl are doing 1.9 anyway with slicks, even on the top 25 list thread. So maybe it's not too bad.

Anyway, I think it was the combined effect of the above mentioned negativities. I've never seen my car and myself perform so poorly on the track, both at the same time. I sucked at launching and my car couldn't even trap 104 - pathetic. I'm gonna go cry myself to sleep.

I'm actually fixing my car right now. I broke a wheel stud launching on the slicks last time. So, since tomorrow's race day for me again, I want all 5 studs to be there. Plus, I'll do another DIY once I get done. Mackie was supposed to help but.. that bastage didn't answer my IMs. I'm not helping him on his sways installation.
fcker i said call me. i never went home after school.

Todd, when I said Mackie, I meant ZSpectrum.

Anthony, what wheels are you getting?
I'm not answering any sort of questions right now... but they WILL go good with my color scheme and they are NOT expensive...

i just couldn't justify spending 1000+s on something so easily susceptible to damage...

especially with me driving

Brian maybe you should get a dyno to get a base line.
