1st time @ track w/465 miles! Track prep was NOT good but I still managed to get some descent times:
-13.3 @ 105 w/2.1 60`
-13.3 @ 104 w/2.0 60`
-13.7 @ 104 w/2.3 60`
-14.0 @ 104 w/2.3 60` (Had A/C on! OOPS!) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" />
I was spinning BAD off the line for what felt like 50 or so feet but the she pulled hard all the way down the track. Only mods were: FRA, washer fluid drained, front sway bar removed, air filter removed, and I cut off my muffler. On the 13.7 run, she fell on her face at the top of first just before shifting into second. Is that the dreaded Torque Management at work?

Re: 1st time @ track w/465 miles! throw that filter back on, put it in 3, and dont all out throw it on the floor at the 3rd yellow. even the auto's need to be peddled out. Still, good times. treat yourself to a Vigilante 3200 and cut 1/2 off those times.

Re: 1st time @ track w/465 miles! Thanks fot the tips Ryan. A converter is in the works for sure, but I`m thinking about that Vig 3600. <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Re: 1st time @ track w/465 miles! Yea, I figure what the hell, I bought it to turn it into a drag car anyway. But I figured (and told the wife) I`d take it easy on the mods for a year or two but the "bug" bit me hard and I just couldn`t restrain myself! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: 1st time @ track w/465 miles! "In the closet". Sounds like you have to hide parts from the wife too! I hide mine in the garage, she does not venture into "Lolita`s" area. <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />
