First time at track vid.
First time at track vid. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just got back from the track and had a blast. We're at 5000+ ft. here so I wasn't really sure what to expect. My first run which was solo was a 15.159. I ran a few more 15's that night, here's a vid of one of them.

I tried turning the traction control off and boy what a difference! I couldn't believe that I was almost a second faster without it. Wish I had it off when I was racing that STI and Cobra. My quickest time of the night turned out to be a 14.476. Every 14 second run I did I had no traction coming out of the hole and hitting 2nd and 3rd. Everyone basically said at this altitude, you lose a whole second. How are these numbers with my mods? Is tires and traction my biggest issue in not breaking the 13's? There were other mildy modded F-Bods running in the 13's there and I did talk to one of the owners. He had an 01 ws6 with DR's and 4.10's and was hitting 13's. He said he was hitting 14 flat stock. He also told me he runs mid 12's with a hundred shot. One other thing, my fastest run that night, my wife was in the car with me.
Some other numbers.
Best R/T .104
Best 60' 2.331 This has got to be killing me here.
Best 1/8th 9.474
Best MPH 102.47
