Went up to Atco Raceway last night with a bunch of friends/family.

Had a BLAST!


Right lane both passes.


Temp was about 75, engine was at full op temp (194 ish), tires at normal street PSI, and my IAC temp was north of 110!!! I blame them making us wait in the lanes RUNNING for a good 20 minutes both times before getting us moving. The 13.6 was the first run followed with the 13.4 about 1.5 hours later as the night cooled off to the 60's

My 60 ft times are horrible.. First run I left at 2500rpms and the second I left at 3700rpms. I kept dead hooking with alittle chatter, then bogging. Guess I have a reason to get those LCA's I've been wanting.

Click to expand...

Press the button next to the hazzard button that says TCS. When the button is lit, TCS is off
