Default Track Results:Driving > me

Just got back from the track again and it just made me realize that I can't drive on the track, the two just dont mix.

I couldn't cut a 60 ft to save my life.

Best run of the night was a 13.1 @ 109 with a 2.2 60 ft. I tried everything I could think of. I aired the tires (BFG KDW T/A's) down to 20 psi, I heated them up, I tried slipping the clutch, I tried popping the cluth and it was just the same result everytime, a shitting 60 foot and a low 13.

So aside from more track time, this was only my second trip, what kinda tips do you guys have?

My car is a M6 btw, and I just couldn't find that sweet spot between bogging it and blowing the tires off...

I tried everything from 2000-2700 and it wasnt spinning, it was bogging. I got up around 3k and it just blew the tires off. So, I got in the 28-29 neighborhood and tried slipping the clutch but I guess I just suck at it.

Its depressing to see a car thats got less mods than you, and is an A4 run 2/10's faster with a trap 3 mph slower, all because of his 2.0 60'.
