LVD Track Rental- Fri May 26th ..continued from the old thread
http://jannettyracing.com/dragday.shtml
The track day that was originally scheduled at LVD for Fri May 19th is rescheduled to Fri May 26th due to rain. This is the Friday of memorial day weekend and i have a feeling it is going to be PERFECT track weather!I bet everyone is itching to get out to the track after all these days of rain, so now everyone who couldn't make it the 19th have a chance to make it the 26th.

Well, not perfect, but not too bad.
Rain shut us down about 1pm. The air was terrible too, pretty much + 3000' DA the whole time. And of course as usual at LVD the timing boards weren't working again, so you had no idea what anyone else was running. I only got 5 passes in, though in fairness I had to spend a chunk of my time helping out my buddy who blew an axl in his SRT4 on his first pass.
On the plus side IMHO the track was hooking better than any other time I can ever remember. I was pulling bottom 1.7 60's on Mickey DR's consistently, usually I only manage high 1.7s or low 1.8s. I was running pretty consistent, other than a 12.4 on the first pass when I bogged because I didn't expect to hook so good, I ran 3 12.2's, and finished it off with a new best of 12.101@114.9. Trap was off a good 2mph from what I usually get.

For me, I made maybe about 6 runs, which were all pretty crappy. I pretty much expected that anyway since I drove the car only once for about 10 minutes in 6 months before that track day. I also was hooking pretty good, but was having major trouble launching (bogging a lot) which gave me 2.0-2.4 60' times. The times I didn't bog, my clutch was slipping (about 2 runs in the middle, and then the clutch seemed fine?). I really need to work at that. IMO, freaking LVD sucked. The tree wasn't working for one, which is totally rediculous. The guys working there sucked, I had to have a friend run up each time I ran to help back me into the water box since the employee standing there had no clue, on top of the 15 car time slip line since the guy doing was backed up, I didn't even wait a few times for my timeslip since it took so long (this occurred for a few hours). Then, one thing I thought was funny, I lined up with my boyfriend one time, and I clearly beat him to the finish by I'd say a half a second, and when we got our time slips it said he ran a 13.3 and I ran a 13.4? Interesting to me...

Yeah Steph hit on a few points. The backup on the timeslip line was rediculous. And I had no one directing me to back up into the water (and plus not enough water down), so I started cracking the door open and checking. My first burnout I pretty much dead hooked in the waterbox, lol. And the timing board never seems to work anymore when I'm up there. At least their new timing system is kind of nice and gives you the DA.
Also Steph, what were your guys RTs? That can be a few tenths right there, I've finished ahead of a car before by a few lengths but had a slower ET because he slept at the tree.
