Damn I didn't realize Burke was that far away from sterling. You're right, for you it's about a hour and a half. Although I would still take the 7100-50-28-15-70 route. You be stuck in traffic for hours Taking 495 to 270.

It would still be worth though. It was a lot of fun when we had the Track night last september.

 

Ya, we drive about 45 minutes to get to chick fill a on fridays, burke's basically next door to fairfax

 

You'd be a good match up against Todd (Aceman) and John(Gooey)

Looks like a Stock 94 RT/10 runs in the low 13s or better.

 

Id say mid 12's with a decent driver is a good goal-def in the 12
s!. 13's in a Viper = leave the track the Snake lost its Venom and has a weaksauce bite.

 

I thought the old vipers were sortof slow (for thier HP). low 13s or so, right?

 

Maybe with cerbal palsy behind the wheel

GOOD drivers have gone lower end of 12's @ 112-115mph

AVG is mid to high 12's @ 111-113

13's = the suck

This is 1st gens, newer Vipers are much faster. 1st gen times after a few minutes of searching varied from 12.3 to 12.8 that I have seen 111-117mph.

 

Well don't put too much pressure on him. Getting a decent 60' will be the key. 400 lbs of torque @ 2500 rpms means what ... a "launch" at 1500 rpms?

 

Im not putting pressure on anybody. 400ft/lbs at 2500rpms is @ WOT Karl, you forget you HAVE to control clutch and throttle in high hp cars. He could go 3/4 throttle and still nail 1.9 60ft's easy. I could run 2.0 60ft's launching my Z at idle NA. Anyways, hopefully he will make the trip to the track, he will leave a better driver than when he came.

 

well the thing is I've NEVER been to a track before, ha I've always wanted to, but was always too afraid of embarassing myself by wrecking or just screwing something up. I'm sure I would suck ***** my 1st time

 

Here's a time slip of a stock 94 RT/10 Viper taken last year. 12.78 w/ 111 mph trap.

 

Just baby it a few times down the track. Don't worry about f'n up. No one gets a clean pass everytime they go down the track. Out of the 20+ passes, I think only a 1/3 were considered relatively "clean".

It will be good experience b/c we'll have the track to ourselves i.e. No lines.

 

oooooooooooooh ? did someone rent it out ? that's ****ing awesome

yea my biggest fear is losing the rear end and wrecking

 

You wont wreck on street tires unless you dont use common sense. Trust me, most wobbles/scares happen on slicks at much higher speeds than 11X trap.

A private track day with friends is the way to learn. Nobody is there to laugh at you, only help you and line up against a Viper for fun

 

sounds like a blast, I'll bring my friend who also has a Viper with me.

 

+1

We had some great video and ownage video. There's one of me against Shawna. She didn't get off the line for a good 2-3 seconds (not sure what happened). I f*cked up shifting into third and just said f*ck it and coasted the rest of the way. Whadya know, Shawna "reels" me in at the finish in made me look like an a$$.

That reminds me ... I want a rematch!

 

LOL-good times man. Her car popped out of gear at the line. Rematch sounds good...I'll run you in her car

 

Cue the the Pinks BS talk ... "How many lengths are you going to give me?"

Can't wait to see the difference with slicks and JWT clutch/flywheel upgrade.

 

Oh I forgot you are gonna be running slicks and a new clutch/fw

I wish Shawna could get a clutch in that thing so I can put my slicks on it and run low 13's with 2 bolt-ons and slicks.

 

You can use my slicks for a few passes ... I don't plan on doing 20+ passes this time. We'll have plenty of time in between runs.

 

I was wondering what happened to you on that run. We had some good comments about that race on the sidelines.
