dec 6th cecil county raceway, md

[vermilion]

the weather was roughly around 30-40 degrees. i used the 3.73s, guesstimated 70 shot go go juice with continental street tires and poor traction.

r/t ...582
60 ft ... 2.1
1/8th... 9.45
1/4... 14.5
mph... 99.4

this was my first time at the track. id like to have picked a better day but it was my only freetime until july because of deploying. i couldnt hold traction out of the hole. i hope in july when i get back with pi p&p'ed H/C/I, drag slicks, and 100 shot ill be somewhere in the 12s or 13s. i also was trying to launch from 3-4 after roasting tires and kept popping out of first. damn t-45 or me :violent1:

What is your car?


near stock 96-98 gt?

Decent time...should be faster with the 70 shot

 

[ram360]

you have a bottle heater right?

 

[vermilion]

stock npi except k&n fipk and pro products plenum and bbk t/b. i think if i could have held traction or atleast got it out of the hole i could have done alot better but i had street tires that werent sticking. met a dude with a cammed out laser red 95 there. i know i need tires and more track time. no, i need a bottle heater. i ran through the juice quick.

 

[ram360]

your mph is good for a 13.9x

 

[vermilion]

temps and tires killed me. it was a learning curve and something to improve on for sure.

 

[justinschmidt1]

yea, mph is good for low 14s/high 13s...which sounds about right with that shot.

Get some pi parts on that thing!

i have heads and aluminum block in the shop right now. it will have P&p'd heads, crower stage 2 cams, new valve train, stock iron crank, and possibly a metal intake or regular pi intake. possibly a s/c and small shot of nitrous on forged internals. im looking to bank on deployment and im leaving in february. i will see the track more when i have it built.
