  • back from the track today

    I went to Raceway Park today...not a bad day!
    here's my 1st run of the day. I took out all of the seats, plus the spare and jack, and ran on slightly more than a 1/4 tank of gas. it weighed 3492, about 10 lbs. off of what i calculated:

    R/T .351
    60' 2.131
    330 6.344
    1/8 9.848
    1/8 MPH 70.32
    1000 12.889
    1/4 15.489
    1/4 MPH 86.48

    for some reason, my best run is the 1st one each time out. i started laughing hysterically when i saw the 15.489, i didn't think i was gonna run that fast at all. my 2nd run:

    R/T .266
    60' 2.217
    330 6.431
    1/8 9.943
    1/8 MPH 70.13
    1000 12.992
    1/4 15.602
    1/4 MPH 86.17

    ehh not too great, still an improvement over last weekend though. 3rd run:

    R/T .213
    60' 2.133
    330 6.336
    1/8 9.847
    1/8 MPH 70.15
    1000 12.897
    1/4 15.504
    1/4 MPH 86.31

    not bad, this time was more what i was expecting for the day. like i said, i didn't expect to run in the 15.4's. 4th and final run:

    R/T .400
    60' 2.236
    330 6.440
    1/8 9.952
    1/8 MPH 69.96
    1000 13.001
    1/4 15.609
    1/4 MPH 86.28

    ehhh...again, not bad, but still needs work. i spun off the line, if i had gotten traction i'd have run quicker.

    Temps were in the low 80s, don't know humidity or barometer. my car's temps were never over 190 degrees, usually in the 170-185 range. i have pics also, i'll get a link soon.

    for a little comparison, here's my best run from last weekend:

    R/T .686
    60' 2.173
    330 6.470
    1/8 10.066
    1/8 MPH 68.45
    1000 13.175
    1/4 15.837
    1/4 MPH 84.45

    and the best one from today:

    R/T .351 (-.335)
    60' 2.131 (-.042)
    330 6.344 (-.126)
    1/8 9.848 (-.218)
    1/8 MPH 70.32 (+1.87 MPH)
    1000 12.889 (-.286)
    1/4 15.489 (-.348)
    1/4 MPH 86.48 (+2.03 MPH)

    3 1/2 tenths off and 2 MPH more, just from removing the seats and running on a 1/4 tank of gas. that's awesome.

    EDIT: here's a link to the pics i took: Raceway Park Pics i also got the times of the exotics that ran, you'll be surprised.

        Not too bad for your mods, looks like the exhaust may be hurting you though.

        You're MPH seems a tad low, open up the exhaust and you'll see a lot better times I think.

          I think experience was a big factor, you picked up on it very well on your first day.

          Just wait for that nice cold air coming soon, you will definately be going quicker!

          congrats!
