rookie at the track

Jucostud · July 6th, 2008, 04:12 AM

Finally made it out to the track tonight. It was freakin' awesome! I wasn't too happy with my times, but i had a full trunk with my 12's and spare in it. I raced a 04 vette, ram, and 08 v6 mustang. Won them all. Best run of the night was against the vette...

R/T - .7424
60ft - 2.1743
330ft - 6.0821
1/8et - 9.1053
1/8mph - 79.98

I'm guessing the vette sucked only getting a 9.3 at 80mph? I dropped my 20's down to around 25psi. Was my 60ft good for street tires?

i bet he would have had u in the 1/4

yep. I killed him off the line, but he started to catch me... fast! I launched perfect.

with all that weight and not much experience it probably helped alot. i'd say a 2.1 for i believe you said 1st time is pretty good with 20's and street tires. given you work at the tire shop and get a pretty decent discount you should look at the nitto dr's. drop them down to 20psi and see what they will do.

07stanggt · July 6th, 2008, 01:07 PM

congrats.

Jucostud · July 6th, 2008, 03:50 PM

My next performance mods will deffinatly be DR's and lca's. Suprisingly, i had the best time of any street cars there last night so i'm wondering if my times could be better with cooler weather. I had no problems with grip, my ass sank perfectly every time launching from aroun 3K.

EfylSetaf · July 6th, 2008, 06:09 PM

Congrats Juco! Sounds like it was a fun time.

2006greyGT · July 6th, 2008, 06:48 PM

07BlkGT · July 6th, 2008, 07:59 PM

Cool Juc glad you enjoyed. I think those are pretty good times also

GT33 · July 6th, 2008, 08:08 PM

flattusmaximus78 · July 6th, 2008, 11:59 PM

prob a low 14 or high 13 in the quarter not bad with all the weight.

stanglifemike · July 7th, 2008, 03:39 AM

6DXR · July 7th, 2008, 04:14 AM

I would say so; we've ran the below even with crappy 2.73 gears w/ an auto

60 : 2.005
330 : 5.533
1/8 : 8.362
MPH : 87.50
1000: 10.774
1/4 : 12.827
MPH : 109.33

06VistaGT · July 8th, 2008, 01:40 PM

nice times. Heading to the track can be addicting. Kinda scared imma break something next time I go, after all my mods.

tribaltek · July 8th, 2008, 02:01 PM

Congrats man!

I'm popping my cherry tomorrow. Running at a 1/4 mile track here. Hell, I don't think we have 1/8 mile tracks in Michigan.

ia07gt · July 8th, 2008, 02:12 PM

the 1/4 mile is 2x longer but not 2x faster
