Default How did I do? 3rd time at track.

I got out to Milan this last Sunday for my second visit to the track since I started.

My first run I am too embarrased to post.

My second was:

Reaction +.280
60 ft 2.020
330 ft 5.657
1/8 ET 8.604
1/8 mph 85.53
1000' ET 11.138
1/4 ET 13.298
1/4 mph 104.61



My setup is in my signature. The elevation is 600 ft and it was 56 degrees and 49% humidity with winds at 12 mph.

I also had the 'service engine soon' light up and later the code was for the catalytic converter (maybe clogged?).

I thought this was a good time on street tires and the 60 ft was better than my previous 2.2. Anyhow, is this as good as I think or is there allot of improvement needed?

ttt

Should i be doing better? Like a 1.8 for a 60 ft. I think the reaction is good.

I launched at 1000 rpm and tried not to mash it right away to keep from spinning. I have a vid of the run and I had allot of mid range.

Any advise would help.

Thanks for some feedback. I was hoping to do 12.9 with street tires and maybe a 1.9 for my 60 ft becasue I have heard of practically stock doing it. But, I plan on a torque converter from TCI with a 3000 stall next year and after adjusting shift points I am gonna shoot for 12.7 or better with street tires. But I am sure with a TC I will want DR. I just have to wait for the cash....

But, thanks again for some feedback.

An A4. Thanks

I would feel great if I did 13.0 or 12.9 with the car as is.

I am planning on trying again on the 16th.
