First Run

speeddemon06 · April 26th, 2009, 10:37 PM

Yesterday was my first time taking the GT to the track, actually, it was my first time on a track in general. Car is stock and on the stock Pirellis. Still figuring out how to get it off the line quick enough. Made four passes. Best run was:

R/T ... 1.271 (terrible, wasn't worried as much about this, more just trying to launch and get it down the track)
60' ... 2.429
330 ... 6.385
1/8 ... 9.597
MPH ... 76.76

The closest is track to me is Sumerduck which is only an eighth mile track. My last run I got off the line harder and got my 60' down to 2.223 and my 330 to 6.148, then I missed the 2-3 shift and that threw the whole run.

gotta cut that 60' down A LOT

Ya, there wasn't a single run I would consider good. Still learning where I feel like I need to be launching from.

Sounds like when I went to the track for the first time

Just try to feel out where to launch from it seems to be pretty good around 3000-3500. Let some psi out of your tires too. And make sure you dont just dump the clutch and you can cut a 1.9 60'

What about disconnectingthe front sway bar just while at the track? Would that be something I could actually do to aid in weight transfer or would it be too big of an issue?

Not bad at all for first time and street tires; example: I know a guy, the first time at the track w/ SPR stage II's and street tires couldnt get into the 12's

Seat time, suspension, and some DR's are your friend!

+1

Hahaha. That's pretty funny. The run was far from good, but it was better than I expected to see my very first time. It probably didn't help it was like 93 degrees out.
