Consolidating information here, there is a conversation going on in my GLD thread and in the fastest thread.
Last night I headed up to WI to make some passes at GLD in the TBSS. I was not expecting to do anything spectacular, given the hot weather. It had been a while since I was racing, and I had the itch to get some track time in. Track prep was phenomenal! There were a lot of race cars doing test hits for a race the next day. Plenty of fresh rubber on the track and frequent traction compound applications.
1900' Density Altitude
12.159 @ 108.40mph 1/4 mile
7.645 @ 87.69 1/8 mile
and my favorite part....
1.584 60'!!!
I made a total of 19 passes, yes 19.
-7 were 12.199 or better
-10 were 12.250 or better
-1, the second pass I made, it wheel hopped and ran a 12.470. I dialed in two clicks of compression on my rear shocks after that, and it never happened again.
-8 of the passes had a sub 1.600 60' time, the rest were 1.601-1.620
Just for shits and giggles, the altitude corrected time is 11.895 @ 110.861 MPH We frequently see NEGATIVE DA here in the fall!
For the haters....... The truck weighs 4030lbs, shut your mouth until you run a pass as fast or faster than mine full weight. It should have been under 4000lbs, but I still had over a 1/4 tank of gas
