Default New Track Times (Slip + Video)!

I went to the track last night at Sacramento Raceway it was about 55 degrees outside. I ran about 4 passes here is how i did!

My Best 60 Ft on street tires 275/40/17 was 2.0!

1st run 14.8 @ 99 MPH Traction Problems
2nd run 14.2 @ 100 MPH Traction Problems
3rd Run 13.9 @ 101 MPH Better launch spining in 2nd gear
4th run 13.7 @ 103 MPH Spun a bit outta the hole and 2nd gear!

Reaction: .282
I1: 2.238
I2: 5.962
I3: 8.978
MPH: 83.931
I4: 11.576
E.T. 13.768
MPH: 103.739

I raced my Buddy in his 2000 Trans AM WS6 and he got scared of the LT1 and ran a 16.6 1/4. I keep giving him **** about it!

MPH seems about right but the ET is a solid 3-4 tenths off, get that 60' down and you will be good to go.

Definetly, would be possible to crack a high 12 possibly depending on stall size and conditions etc.

yeah my best 60 ft was 2.0 and then i spun hard in second gear then the car bogged and then jumped back up to 5k which cost me some time!!

I think if i would have not had an issue that run i should have broke 13.5 at least!

Yea I would think so, I ran 13.4-5's in my '95 with Full Exhaust and CAI only. Your tune and gears would have you a little quicker than that. I know its hard to compare because tracks and whatnot but I'm sure you could have cracked just under 13.5 if the run went well.

I'm surprised you picked up 4 MPH in a set of runs. Did the temperature drop significantly from Run 1 to Run 4?

no temp change it was due to me spinning out of the hole and also i had a poblem after 2nd gear it would spin but the car jumped back and forth on the RPM from 5K to 3K then went back up to 5K and would be fine so i know i losr some MPH and time due to that!

Im not sure what caused this, but this is the only time it has done this and i know i have trouble with my TPS sensor before i hope this isnt the preoblem yet again.

I should have hit at least a 13.5, but i will work out the kinks and get her running right!

Spinning won't hurt your MPH very much. I went 13.20 at 104 on street tires with my A4 so you still have plenty left!

Solid numbers for your first time out with the car! Like they said, some drag radials will help alot and a stall will really get thet ET down.

those mph are definately good for a lower et. i have about the same mods as you (minus the tune and suspension) and i've done 13.3 on drag radials. your altitude probably has a good part in it too though. if you get a set i'm sure you'll find it a lot easier to launch it and get those 60' times down. my best 60' is a 1.93. you definately need to work on getting your 60' down, i'm sure you'll see a big improvement in everything

Thats mine shaft air , when you go next time, check the DA, it may very well be below sea level do to the condition, never hurts to monitor that, because when your car slows down one weekend & your like WTF , it might just be the conditions (DA) not your car.
