I went to Byron yesterday with the Chicagoland Mustang Club and ended up running a full second faster than last time I was there with TCG.
Got to the track yesterday at 830. Waited for it to stop raining, the track to dry and after prepping - we got racing at about 2:30 Great thing was there was no one there and I got more runs in the 3 hours of racing than I ever have of a full day there. I was hot-lapping it every 10-15 minutes. haha
My best was a 12.670 @ 111.50 with a 2.004 60'. (Last time, I was a mid to high 13 second machine...) This time I had a full exhaust with no exhaust leaks. ALSO, I picked up some gently used 275 nittos on some stock 17x8 rims for $100 that I used. They worked well, but was still somewhat a struggle for traction launching. People watching were saying when I was hitting boost in 1st and 2nd, the tires would start spinning...
I never really got a good launch, I need more practice as my best 60' was that 2.004. I kept either bogging it or ripping the tires through first. My times were better when I was bogging it...
Here's a vid of my first run of the day. Vid was focused on the other car, but you can see me and my 13.256 @ 110.48 with a 2.350 60' vs that fox knocking out a 12.1 @ 115 and it was the drivers first run at a track ever haha
I hope I can hit 11's by the end of the season. :hsd:
