Default Track day New Bests! (Video Inside)

VIDEO HERE

Went to the Track for some shake down passes.

Got a bunch of passes, the video is of the two fastest!

60' 1.504
330' 4.424
1/8 6.849
mph 101.40
1000' 8.944
1/4 10.712
mph 127.53 (right lane at bremerton reads alittle slow, acutally about 128.2)

Picked up the front end alittle too.

I wish I could make it to N Vs. S, but that is just too much of a haul. Maybe next year?

I am really happy with the way the car is leaving the line, not bad for just a foot brake! Looking realy hard at a Trans Brake.

The 60' was a 1.504.

Awesome for just shake down runs!

Wait till she get broken in

I was surprised to see that track has like no walls on either side, kinda scary if you went off into that grass!

Good luck with the new setup!

Not to question you, but how do you figure a lane "reads" slow. That's not really plausible.

Probly because out of 7 passes between the two lanes, all the passes in the other lane are 128.2-5 mph with about the same ET.

Thats how.

Great job!!

Question for you, is your tranny shifting slow on 1-2? Sounds like it might be slipping a bit. Didnt hear a nice crisp shift but it might be the vid.

Yeah the shifts should be really hard and crisp in a race prepped TH400. Sounds like slippage on the vid.
