3800 My first track experience.

[frankenstinesy]

I ran a total of 4 times. I would have liked to have gone more but towards they end someone leaked oil or something and were only running 1 lane. This was my first time at the track and I was hoping for mid 14's.

1) 15.604 @ 93.98 I knew it was bad because JET wouldn't tell me what I ran.
2) 15.571 @ 93.82 I was getting kind worried after this.
3) 14.965 @ 94.89 That's more like it.
4) 14.630 @ 95.35 Right about where I wanted to be.

Ironically my best reaction time of the night was on my first run with a .161. But since I've never run at the track before I immediately floored it and spun for a while. Same thing with my 2nd run. On the 3rd run I finally remembered to turn performance shift on and I didn't floor it immediately. What's even weirder is that I had my worst reaction time on the 4th run with a .289.

After some more practice what do you think that I'm capable of running? Somewhere around 14.3? Maybe I should quit working out and lose some weight. My 215lb body can't be helping too much.

Oh, and it was nice to finally meet some more members.

Not too bad of runs.... Get some rockers and springs and break the thirteen's.

Same as above but get the pcm It was fun last night, what did charles end up running? And what time did you stay there till. By the way it was fun too meet some members.

reaction time doesn't mean anything as far as your final time.

Reaction time basically will tell you how well you timed the light. All that will do is help you win the actual race with the other person.

The time doesn't start until you cross the line. Nice job though.

 

[frankenstinesy]

I'm not sure what his best time was. I stayed right til 11 as did most everyone else. Yeah, the PCM is definitely next on my list of things to do though.

What track did you go to

 

[2001GTP]

And by the way did u take off the corner head light (left one) cause that will help . And i cant wait i havent ran my car in the track maybe next week . I h34r: do you need a helmet to run it

 

[frankenstinesy]

Yes, I took the headlight out. I took my spare and jack and all sorts of crap i had in my trunk. And I took the weather strip out too cuz I was told it helps cool the engine. Lowered my front tires to 22psi. That's all I think I did. We went to Great Lakes Dragaway. And you need a helmet if you're faster than 13.99.

 

[Blownbyyou]

You supposedly need a helmet at 13.99 but it really depends on who is working,

I ran times in my sig, with just a Thrasher Intake at GLD. I had the headlight not taken out, and my spare tire was still in the car. I think your time should be alot better than that with your mods. What was your 60's?

 

[frankenstinesy]

I'm not sure...I'm at school right now and I left my timeslips back at home.
