Went to the track for the first time

govtmule · Jul 16, 2004

Well we finally headed up to the track tonight, I only got to run 4 times because of an issue i will get to in a moment. My best was:
14.9 @94mph
60' 2.24
r/t .027

I was just starting to get the feel of it when i went into the return lane and saw my buddy with his hazard lights on ( not a good sign ) he has a '95 cobra btw. his clutch had "broken" it was a center force stage 2 that he had only had for about a month so i spent the rest of the night finding somebody with a truck and towstraps to bring him to the parking lot and then pushing the car to where the tow truck was comming too. All in all im not super happy with the times but i went from a 15.5 to a 14.9 in 4 runs so maybe next weekend i can kick off a couple more tenths

our cars are suppose to run 15.1 quarters , but i guess since this is your first time to the track you have to get your launches down pack. i guess with the add ons you should be able to knock down some more tenths. did you spin alot? i did my first time, hell i didn't even wait for the light to turn yellow, i left on RED . anxious i guess! LOL

chrismillion · Jul 16, 2004

oh yeah, 95 GT

govtmule · Jul 16, 2004

first run i spun quite a bit and then i put the tire pressure down to 20psi with a longer burn out, it seemed to help. on my best run though i had some trouble with the 2nd to 3rd (stock shifter )shift so i know i can be a little quicker

Silver95Stint · Jul 16, 2004

Not that bad considering it was your first time at the track. What were you shifting at?

Quick5pnt0 · Jul 16, 2004

Were you running street tires? You really shouldnt be doing a burnout with street tires. Maybe a dry spin just to get the track rubber off the tires but thats it. Dont go through the water box.

ARed1995GT · Jul 16, 2004

keep practicing bro, it should only get better

govtmule · Jul 16, 2004

I was shifting at about 5200rpm and yes i was on street tires i didnt do a real like smokey burnout i spun em till i felt them catch some. i cant wait to go back wow what a rush

govtmule · Jul 16, 2004

I'm just feeling bad for my friend with a busted cobra on his hands guess i now have a weekend project.... Tranny Drop!

AznStanger3v · Jul 16, 2004

definently work on your launches. the 14.8 is what i ran stock. granted, it wasnt my first time. keep practicing, there is potential yet to be unleashed in that beast

govtmule · Jul 16, 2004

yeah i know i can do better just wanna get back out there... and ps nothing makes you feel worse than goin to the track with your friend who owns a 02 Z28 and he is rippin off a 12.9 with only exhaust

WhiteDevil · Jul 16, 2004

Yeah i ran 14.8 bone stock too. With 3.73s and a catback i went 14.30s @96mph. So hopefully its got a lot more in it if those are the mods in your sig.

haha that makes me feel even worse, i think that cam is hurting me with nothing else to help it. i have no idea what the guy i bought it from was thinking.

cmb91LX · Jul 16, 2004

which "cam" are you running?

i wasnt told, im gonna look for the guys phone # and see if i can find out. when i bought the car i didnt know too much about em so i didnt ask.

mytight95 · Jul 16, 2004

ok if you are not sure of what cam is in a car, how do you go about finding out. Can you pull it and get numbers off of it or anything like that.

Yeah I was going to ask what cam you had too. That might make a difference in the mod your car. If you keep practicing, your times will get better. A 14.9 isn't bad for your first time. What were the track conditions like?

We were at Virginia mototrsports park which is a great track, and it was about 80 degrees when i made the 14.9 pass but it was cooling off quick so i was hopeing to get at least one more run in but shat happens i guess
