Ok, so today i went to Etown to give the nittos a go, and see if i couldn't break 13's...im gonna go through each of my 4 runs, show some pics, and ask for some serious advice on what i should do for next time. Keep i mind, i know i was "asleep" at the tree...i was more concerned about the launch. Thanks :SNSign:
1st pass:
r/t- .535
60'- 2.225
1/8- 9.37
mph-75.17
ET-14.55
mph-95.39
This pass i was the first car down the track all day, so there was no rubber down, i had too much water on the nittos, i did wayy too small of a burnout in 1st gear, and i launched at 4 grand, basically letting the clutch fly, causing me to spin all the way through first.
2nd pass:
r/t- .475
60'- 2.195
1/8- 9.366
mph-75.07
ET-14.52
mph-95.91
This pass, i rolled through the water instead of spinning them once. I did a second gear burnout at about 5 grand until the tires started to grab, then i stalled
I pulled up to the line, staged, and launched at 2500 slipping the clutch resulting in a dead hook, but i bogged. So i knew i had to raise the launch rpms.
3rd pass (1st pass of eliminations):
r/t- .403
60'- 2.111
1/8- 9.35
mph-74.42
Dial- 14.5
ET-14.81
mph-76.53
Since this was an elimination run and i wanted to run, I did the same thing as the run before. 2nd gear burnout at 5 grand but this time i didnt stall when i came out
Staged the car at 2500 since i didnt wanna screw with this ven thought i knew i could do much better, but i was running consistantly. I was racing a Lightning which dialed 13.4 so i left first since this is bracket racing. At about 1/2 track, he started to gain on me, but i knew he wasnt gonna catch me, so at about 1000 feet, i let off a bit, and he still wasnt getting any closer, so right before the finish line, i got on the brakes a bit to ensure the win, and not break out of my dial. I won the race and advanced to the 2nd round.
4th pass (2nd elim run):
r/t- .313
60'- 2.145
1/8- 9.40
mph-74.85
Dial- 14.5
ET-14.59
mph-95.54
This pass I did the same thing with the burnout, and staged the car a 2500 again since i was consistant and i didnt want to break out of my dial time, and if i upped my launch rpm then, i wouldnt know how to compensate for it at the top of the track, and come to an appropriate dial. I was the slower car once again, so i left first. At about 1000 feet, i saw him like 2 cars behind me and pulling on me fast, so i stayed in it thru the traps. Turns out, we both ran .09 slower than our dial, and he beat me by 2 tenths at the tree.
Overall, I had a really fun day, and all my runs (if you look at the 1/8 mile time for the 3rd pass to compare since i got on the brakes at 1000 ft) were within .07, so i think i ran pretty damn consistantly. Now its your turn. What should i do next time that will help me out. And dont tell me more mods, cause i already know that HAHA I really wanna max out on what i have, cause im not gonna be able to get any mods for a while. Any help is appreciated. Heres a few pics to part with.
And a pic i bought in a frame from the track photographer for my dorm room in the fall
