1st Time at Track W/ 5 speed GT

[MGSTANG]

Just wanted to post my times from tonight. I was expecting a 14.5 and that is what I got. But my 60's were awful. I got 2.3's on all 3 of my passes. Oh well, gotta practice. Let me know some of yalls first runs.

Boy, your message could have been mine!!! Went to the Sacramento Speedway CA and pulled a 14.5 also. Did about 5 runs and that was my best time. Had a great time. I have an 01 GT and Tri-Ax and the rest is completely stock.

You must have been running at Bithlo, right ? Don't feel too bad , on test and tune nights I see people dripping antifreeze, and not driving around the water box, etc My best 60' are always at the beginning of the night for this reason - gets kinda slippery unless they clean it up...

 

[MGSTANG]

Yeah, it was Bithlo. How'd you know? I'm also running on Goodyear offbrand tires (Esseza's). Which isn't helping much. Aslan, what's your 60's and MPH's?

I can't find the slips right now but I think I was doing around 98 but I can't remember my 60's. If I come across them, I let you know.

Practice, practice, practice........... I've gotten a 2.09 60' on the stock Goodyears, not too shabby for a newbie.

When you hit 13's, you'll feel like you're king.

Then you start thinking 12's..........

Then once you hit that, it'll be 11's. Being a speed addict is a terminal disease.

Death is the only way out of motorsports. Who was that race car driver in that terrible crash that lost the use of his legs? I remember he went racing not too long ago in a BMW specially modified to be controlled only with his hands.

Like I said, there's no way out.

I have what it takes in my closet to put me in the low 12's as we speak. Just a little something something we like to call the Juicy Juice. Just haven't came up with the money yet for a Tach adapter and window switch. But, with these AFS goodyear offbrands I got, it wouldn't be a good idea. The NX kit got me a 14.1 at 99 w/ my old 02 v6 mustang coupe. I feel pretty good with the 14.5's I got last night considering I've only been driving a 5 speed for a month. But it's nothing at the track compared to the 6. I could floor the 6 at the line with no wheel spin. I have to get use to that with this car. GT is a MAJOR difference. I have to learn the whole feather the clutch thing. Love the car though. The only mods I have is air silencer removed, and no spoiler (40th anniversary Crimson Red came that way) and flowmasters. CAI will be here Tuesday. I don't know what I want my first major mod to be. Any suggestions?
