Bad day at the track

[allenpark94gt]

Well my previous best time at the track before the gears, CAI and new trans was 15.03 @ 94mph

this is my run today:
Reaction: .001
60 ft: 2.4063
330 ft: 6.5453
1/8 ET: 9.9463
1/8 MPH: 73.24
1000' ET: 12.8721
1/4 ET: 15.3050
1/4 MPH: 93.20

now I think its because the tires basically didnt catch until the middle of second gear....but other than that what could be my problem?

the sixty foot isnt the greatest, mine suck too. where do u launch from?





who cares how u did, u have an awesome avitar

Spinning well poop on your times. You need to learn how to launch the car a little better and better rubber to help. Mine doesn't spin as much (street) if I bog the car on launch.

How did this 60' compare to your previous best? A 2.4 has a TON of room for improvement. Keep practicing and you should be able to get into the 2.0 range with what you have now. Once you do you can theoretically run at least a 14.6 or even much better.

Ur prolly going to want to go with the bog and go launch... thats what I did and I cut 2.198 my very first time to a track. Obviously thats not the greatest, but my wheelspin was controlled.

i hate the bog and go method. I experience that for the first time at the track last weekend. damn was that track sticky. even a 4 grand launch bogged then went. only when i was juiced did i get away from the bog. next time ill try a 5 grand launch. even with the bog i was getting a 1.7-1.8 60 foot time. mind you i was running slicks. nos gave me a 1.605 sixty foot.

I was launching at 2000 rpm and still spinning...how do i "Bog and Launch"
