Default Went to the track

I didn't get a new person best, but I matched my best almost and got the highest traps I've got

Ran a 13.54 @ 103, 13.60 @ 103, 13.6x @ 102, and a 13.7 @ 101


Here's the only vid we got of me running, the 13.60 @ 103

I was really suprised about the trap, hopefully I can get to a track that I can get good traction on and nail some really good times.

Ya, the G8 is 370whp. I red lit (barely) and he ran me down good. He actually upshifted too early and downshifted in that run too!

I have some other vids of his, he ran a best of 12.7 @ 108

About a month ago ran, 50 degrees - low humidity

2.11 60 foot
8.75 @ 80.5 1/8th
13.53 @ 101.4

Last weekend ran, 65 degrees - low humidity
2.09 60 foot
8.75 @ 80.5 1/8th
13.54 @ 103.1



I average high 2.0's to low 2.1's in the 60 foot. I don't push very hard off the line due to our weak trannies. My local track also sucks for track prep - at Dallas Raceway I was getting mid 2.0's on 235mm all season tires.

^^ thanks. Take her out stock so you can have before and after times.

My stock times were terrible, 14.7 @ 94 - but that was in 100+ degree Texas summer heat.
