Island last friday
Island last friday So I went to Island dragway for my first time last friday and noticed alot of cars seem to be running fairly slow. The fastest c6 ran 13.3, a viper srt-10 ran 12.6, an 03 cobra ran in the 14's, as did an 05 stang gt. Are these normal times for island? I want to know what I should be happy with when I finally run my car there.
It's hard to account for driver error. On fridays they don't prep the track the greatest cause they get a lot of newbies that don't know how to do a burn out anyway and carry water out from not doing the right burnout and more than half the cars there on a friday run street tires. They set up cones to keep everyone out of the sticky groved part of the track. When they would line me up in the grove I would pull 1.5 60ft.'s with a 26" tire.Island is also the slowest track when compared to E-town, LVD, and Atco. But you do get a lot of passes in compared to the other 3
Island is quicker than LVD in my experience, though its been a couple years since i've run at Island. I'd gain about 1mph consistently of trap speed at Island.
LVD is at 550', I believe Island is almost at sea level. Don't know what else it is about LVD, but they get some bad DA's (anytime its above 70 you're pretty much running in +1500' DA or more)

My buddy raced his 310rwhp 99 C5 M6 three fridays ago at Island. His best run was a 13.8 @ 103.xx w/ 2.1 60'. His 60' wasnt bad, but his mph is way down. His best trap for the day was 104. probably DA was hurting him.
