Took SS to the track for the first time
 
Well i was a little mad becuase the weather sucked, but i took off work in advance to go so i went anyways. It was a 50's/60's with a 20-25 headwind i'm not even joking it was windy as hell, they siad 20-25 on weather.com, and the news. i just sat in the car the whole time becuase it was brutal as hell in the stands.

I'm on nitto 555r's with mods in my sig. I was having a tough time hooking. I was doing a good 4-5 second burnout before every pass. I was kinda hot lapping the car and ran exactly 13.2@108 4 times in a row.(i should bracket race. lol) then i let the car cool for about a half hour and had my best run

Here's my best run:

60' 2.147
330 5.740
1/8 8.619
MPH 85.63
1000 11.081
1/4 13.166
MPH 108.17

Luckly the wind died down to about 10mph around 9 pm so i let the car cool till 9:45 and went trying to find a 12 second pass. i was in line and a S10 ran into the wall at the end of the track, and the officials called it a night. :cry:

i'm fiarly happy with my times this was the first time to the track driving a manual. I think with zero wind and better track prep, i could see a 12

easy 12s with the mph and 60 foot times you're posting.

Get some traction and you'll hit the 12s :nod:

Very good times considering the conditions. You should have no problems running 12s, as stated before, with that mph.

:bang: i should be getting those times :bang:

Cahill93Z28 04-29-2005 04:38 PM

arn't you cammed? you should be basement 12's. I saw you ran like 13.5 or something. If you can't get the hang of the Hurst shifter get a pro 5.0 it should help

Nice times for the first time out. How did you launch it? I will be running at the track for the first time ever in a manual. Unsure how to go about it.

Cahill93Z28 04-29-2005 04:51 PM

after a nice burnout(go to a parking lot and learn how to burnout before you go) i was jus dumping it from about 2,200 at about 3/4 throttle.
