my track opens today :D

adam0421 · April 18th, 2007, 09:01 AM

my track opens today. I'm pretty excited because I have never run before. any tips on equipment I need to bring with me? I'm a little nervous because a couple years ago my buddy ran his talon out there at a 17.1 when it should have been low 15s (he got a really bad launch) and I have been giving him shit about it ever since and I don't wanna make the same mistake

either way though I think its gonna b a lot of fun and I will post the times later today. my car is stock except for pypes violator axleback. and I'm running at 4700 ft so I'm hoping for low 14's

Just make sure u turn your traction control off! Like u didnt already know, but sometimes we forget the small stuff.

Heres a link for some beginer track tips... might helps some. Also, I would plan on breaking into the 13 second catagorie if I were you ( bring a helmet ). http://www.speedworldmotorplex.com/tips.htm ( Ignore the location ). Hope this helps...

adam0421 · April 19th, 2007, 01:08 AM

well we got rained out tonight. boooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyway does it have to be a special helmet? I have one that came with a 4 wheeler. its a full helmet but it doesn't have anything over the eyes. if that won't work where can I get one and what kind of price am I lookin at? thanks for the help

adam0421 · April 21st, 2007, 02:04 PM

well I'm at the track right now. very dissapointed with my 1st run

rt: .672
60: 2.257
330: 6.303
1/8: 9.592 74 mph
1000: 12.414
1/4: 14.775 95.65 mph

yeah are you spinning off the line. if so just don't launch at such a high rpm. you'll figure out after a few runs where you should launch at to keep it from bogging and also keep it from spinning to much.

Defiantely need the traction mod which is accompanied by the driver mod...

that first run of the day turned out to be the best of the day. I was running at 4700 ft with 100 percent humidity at about 50 degrees. what kind of effect would that have on my times? also is 95 mph about right for high 14's. I was also runnin on 275/40/18 street tires so traction a problem. I just thought my car was faster. maybe I'm just a really bad driver. the only part of the day that made me feel better was other cars that were in my class like a stock sti, with exhaust only ran a best of 14.5 and a 350z bone stock ran 14.9 best.

krispyrob · April 22nd, 2007, 01:09 PM

Dang, either that kinda altitude and cold temp has a HUGE effect, or those other drivers SUCK, particularly the STI, they can run 13 seconds flat with a good driver in good conditions at sea-level.

adam0421 · April 22nd, 2007, 03:10 PM

a stock 06 gt should run 13.5 right?

psycho bob · April 22nd, 2007, 04:50 PM

i ran a 13.83 with no performance mods at a crappy track

Not to change the subject or anything, but where was the track at psycho?

psycho bob · April 22nd, 2007, 11:37 PM

temple academy raceway. about 30 min from fort hood, tx

jjuddz · April 23rd, 2007, 08:52 AM

Just curious, im in OK and was just wondering if it was up around here.

adam0421 · April 23rd, 2007, 12:00 PM

so would 95 mph be good enough for low 14 maybe a high 13?

krispyrob · April 23rd, 2007, 01:26 PM

no... gotta be around 100 for a high 13... from what I've been reading anyways, no personal experience, correct me if I'm wrong guys.

adam0421 · May 13th, 2007, 12:57 PM

OK I am convinced that it is the altitude that is keeping me out of the 13's. So I am gonna drive all the way down to southern california so I can get on a track near sea level instead of 5000' ft up. If im still in the 14s there then I will admit defeat as being a shitty driver and just practice practice practice. Anyway my question is does anybody know what tracks are in southern california and the website or contact info for the track so I can plan a trip down to redeem myself?

Thanks

Adam
