Date:1/7/11
Reaction Time:1.259
60 FT: 2.244
Vehicle Speed:76.42
Elapsed Time:9.351

Definitely run a 9.2 or 9.1 next time since reaction time was slow! Bu the concrete side is the difference at the track for grip!

I don't understand, with that amount of mods, you should be running under 9's. I ran 9.1-9.2 when I was bone stock. Maybe you need a tune ?

^^ Your right!

I just edited my best time... What I had up before was my second best time. Now I will post my drag videos this weekend and whats interesting is look at my reaction time up top It was terrible! This was because I rolled past end staging light and dude shot the Christmas tree and I wasn't ready. In the video you will see that I reacted like 1 second later. Now the other thing is I did this in the left lane which is concrete, which tells me straight up this is the lane your going to get the best runs on period. I only did 6 runs... Last one (this one posted) was my best since it was in the left lane and not the right like all the other 5. one which I burned my clutch in second and when I got over to third.. .my clutch couldn't take it and almost redlined on it.

First time at a Christmas Tree... Next time 4 sure Ill bag this ET.

Should post up your 60' times since those indicate the launch and traction off the line. I would've expected a little more trap speed with those mods, what size/weight are the Volks - I assume you are racing with those.

^^ I'll add that in. Thanks! No Volks here man! No doubt if your serious about performance.. every bolt on should be as light or lighter than stock. But with after market camber arms like we all currently have.. that sht goes out the door since they weigh a hell of lot more than stock parts. Not to mention most cast wheels are heavier. I definitely can run a low a$$ 9 as is. Trust me, next time at track ill get a 9.1. In couple months I'll do an UpRev tune and that will push me into the 8s 4 sure!

Not to hard on performance... just having some fun at the track. Also by the way the Volks in my signature are the racing formula lugs.

That looks like a nice facility, better than a lot of the tracks I've been to in the past that were out in the middle of the country. If you can get your 60' time down a tenth or two you will be seeing some very decent numbers in the 1/8th. Do you have Vossen wheels?
