Bone Stock 60ft poll...
Track prep doesn't make much difference when you are on street tires and driving a m6 car. Like I said, it's all about finding the sweet spot and knowing how to slip it just enough to get the car moving without smoking the clutch. Once I figured out how to do this a really well preped track would cause me to slow down because the car would want to bog. I always hated bracket racing on street tires when they would prep the track between rounds.
Now if you are bracket racing w/ street tires and you want to win at bracket racing w/ street tires, the smartest thing to do is to forget about your 60' and therefore track prep and just worry about being consistent by launching as low as possible.

Well..I found out it's pretty much just me sucking...
The Fiancee drove the car at the last track rental and busted out a 1.99 60ft and numerous 2.0x 60fts through out the day (she had 27 passes in), I made about 5 passes and 2 2.0x 60fts (track is using new compound I think because I've never seen a 2.0x 60ft in the past 7 years of going to the track), but the rest were 2.1 60fts as usual.

Does alititude, thus lack of power, going to adversly affect 60' times? I was on my 285 nitto street tires, and 8 of 9 passes have been consistant 2.3's. The other one was a 2.5 becuase I popped the clutch not paying attention, and bogged. My first 5 passes ever, spun and wheel hopped to 2.3's every run, and same going into second gear. Next 4 passes, doing little burn outs to clean off the tires, no spinning, no bogging, no wheel hopping, same results. First runs were clutch pops, second time (last 4 made yesterday) were attempting to slip the clutch. So keep practicing? Or does alititude really affect it. The track is at 3000 feet.
2.13-2.43 60ft. in my a4.
2.16=9.06 1/8th et @ 80.67mph (best run) then 2 days later tranny went out?
havent went back to track with new tranny but hoping to see 8.99 if at all possible.
all these times are bone stock no free mods or nething. on sumitomo htr+ tires
