new personal bests

[RallyRed 98]

very good night at richmond dragway; all you guys that went to MIR will be disappointed. the faster cars were spinning a lot, especially after the sun went down and the track lost some heat but i was hooking very very well.

ambient temp was about 70 when we got there and was 61 when we left, average density altitude of 650! :D

my sig is a little deceptive though; right now i am running a stock motor with intake, exhaust, LS1 DS, UMI LCAs, 275/40 sumitomos, 3.73s, ZR1s, centerforce DF, rear tires at 22 psi.

first run, car was very warm and of course it was my first run at richmond:
RT: .1159
60: 2.16
330: 6.2589
1/8 ET: 9.6577
1/8 MPH: 72.93
1/4 ET: 15.0608
1/4 MPH: 91.39

okay, decent warm up run.

next run was hot lapped, engine was probably 190-200 as i staged.
RT: .0879
60: 2.12
330: 6.1558
1/8 ET: 9.5617
1/8 MPH: 72.77
1/4 ET: 14.9695
1/4 MPH: 91.96

an improvement, but not what i had hoped for so i parked in the pits and watched some of the other cars run, including the gunslingers (mod et). i got tired of watching other people go fast, so i went to the staging lanes again. long wait, car was almost cold (around 140-150 F) when i was finally staged.

RT: .1166
60: 2.0057 [img]graemlins/omg.gif[/img] on sorry tires and 17's!
330: 5.9697
1/8 ET: 9.3137 (faster than my previous 1/8 best by 4 full tenths)
1/8 MPH: 73.89 (again, faster than old best MPH by 2.5 mph)
1/4 ET: 14.6693
1/4 MPH: 91.72

i was real happy about that run. :D

last run, car was cool but not as cool as the 14.66, probably 165:
RT: .1955
60: 2.0611
330: 6.1200
1/8 ET: 9.5079
1/8 MPH: 73.22
1/4 ET: 14.9048
1/4 MPH: 91.09

Awesome time man. I got my best time N/A when the car was around 160. Even if I let it cool all the way down after the burnout I could never get it any cooler than that. I wonder how mine would of reacted just a few degrees cooler?

thanks for the props.

drew (pewter2k1) and i were talking while we were there and he claims to have always run his best NA times with the car near dead cold... i think he said 14.9 in paper filter stock trim.

it kind of makes me want to get a 160 stat, but i may just drill the one i have now so i can have the best of both worlds.

good runs. what tires where you running?

[RallyRed 98]

sumitomo HTR+ 275/40

im guessing street tires then. im suprised the low tire pressure did bof you down like it did me. i was running 27 and it bogged me down on the top end. got good launches off it though.
