First run at the track last night!

[Dalamar]

I took my car to the strip last night for the first time.
it was a tune night, so I got in 3 runs.
my best was 13.8
crappy launch on the other 2. this is on my street tires.
It was pretty fun!

Going again on friday - need more practice.

RT- .57
60'- 2.29
1/8- 9.22
1/4- 13.824 @ 106.43

not bad, do you know how much power you make at the wheels. your mph picked up pretty good tho. how much boost.

 

[Dalamar]

thanks,

[GUIL-BOT]

Sick dude I want to reach that haha Just need the damn money

 

[Dalamar]

thanks man.

going again tonight. gotta reduce that 60' time

 

[96_SVT_Cobra]

good luck bro, what type of tires are you running

 

[SiK98GT]

You need to practice a bit man with that whp you should be able to get into the 12's

 

[Dalamar]

I know it. I"m a track noob.

just running on my nitto's

thanks for the comps. any tips?

 

[AaRoN]

You did a ton better than I did my first time.

 

[96_SVT_Cobra]

so how did you do last night?

 

[justinschmidt1]

lol...jeez, that's weird that you only trapped 106...I guess your still getting used to everything but I feel like you should pull a lot higher trap speeds with your power.....

he might be high up above sea level. hey dalamar, how high are you above sea level.

 

[95Grandtouring5.0]

IF he is at sea level, and is making the power he has claimed. Then he should easily be running low 12's and should have a higher trap. Around 115 or so wouldn't be unreasonable.

thats good power, if your amking THAT much power at sea level he would be EASY 11.80's and better id say some where 11.6x and 118 ? from what ive seen from cars around here (track is at 90ft of elevation)


and to the OP, as far as driving tips what do you have for suspension, like lower control arms (rear) shocks/ struts, tires you said are nitto's .... dr's or street tires, and what did you launch at?

 

[Dalamar]

The elevation here is 4200 ft.

Here's what my slip says:

reaction - .57
60 ft. - 2.29
330 - 6.18
1/8 - 9.225
mph - 84.2
1000 -11.72
1/4 - 13.82
mph - 106.4

I'm sure I can get better with some practice.
this was on my nitto street tires, and as far a a supension, I've got all Maximum motorsports with coilovers, panhard rod and a torque arm.

the other guys with slicks were jumping away from me off the line.
Pretty fun stuff!

 

[SiK98GT]

Your trap is really slow for your HP, Were you spinning down the track ? Also all that MM stuff is for road racing right ? That may be hurting your launches as well.

yea that will happen your suspension def doesnt love drag racing lol, and my 60 ft is over half a second faster... just in 60ft but you have way more hp then me so if you can hook you will smoke my times

 

[Dalamar]

I'll definately work on that!
i want to get some slicks, I'm sure that will help me get moving.

So, how does the elevation work into this stuff?

 

[justinschmidt1]

Well elevation does have a big impact...but still, I would think he would go faster than that...lol

My car with something like 400 rwhp should go mid/low 11s @ close to 120 mph...but im at sea level and my car weighs less than 3100 lbs

 

[Marvin97]

should be much faster than that,, practice practice
