Default Dallas Raceway is AWESOME

Went up to Dallas raceway last night and was very impressed by the facilities. 100% concrete with 4400' of shut down, awesome track food, and bathrooms cleaner than alot of resturants. Went up there chasing the elusive 9sec slip.

Last time out the car ran:
60' 1.501
330' 4.268
1/8 6.522 @ 109.83
1000' 8.438
1/4 10.053 @ 139.72
This was spinning past the 330' timers @ 3210# raceweight

I added 70# to the back of the car to help with traction Raceweight of 3280 and on the first nitrous pass ran

60' 1.543 (launched on 950psi to soften the hit)
330' 4.195
1/8 6.418 @ 111.04
did not get any more data due to track error :angry:

Next nitrous pass launched on 1100psi
60' 1.425 :bigthumb: carried the wheels all the way through first gear
330' 4.204
1/8 6.478 @ 109.07
1000' 8.431
1/4 10.096 @ 133.68
This pass the shifter went all the way to third instead of second...so I pulled from the 60' mark to the end of the track in 3rd gear

All in alll I was pleased with the way the car ran and will absolutley be using Dallas Raceway as my normal track to run at....for those the don'y know where it is...its only about 20 minutes farther than Ennis if you are going north on I35

Nice times! I believe you had 9's in the bag on that 2nd pass and the 3rd pass as well.

Make any N/A passes? Just curious how much the 200 is dropping your times?

It would be close to the same as Ennis....I used Dragtimes DA calculator and Ennis as the facility for my DA numbers.

Thanks...have plans to go back on Sat the 18th.
