Even though Orlando Speedworld is a notoriously crummy track, especially at this time of year due to weather, I decided to take out the car for a few passes today.
First pass, I literally drove the car out of the hole and didn't hit it until 2nd gear. The car was hooking in 2nd and I ran it out:
RT: .081
60': 2.221
330': 5.645
1/8: 8.242
MPH: 94.08
1000': 10.464
1/4: 12.310
MPH: 122.46
This was after about 20 minutes of cooldown, in off the street and tech.
After an extended cleanup, and about an hour and a half later, I had a chance to make another pass:
RT: .171
60': 2.147
330': 5.431
1/8: 7.985
MPH: 93.98
1000': 10.206
1/4: 12.045
MPH: 123.20
I bumped the limiter on the 2-3 (rookie mistake) because I was checking where the other Mustang on slicks/skinnies was in the other lane (it was behind me :rolling: ). I'm sure it would have gone ~11.9 and over 124 mph.
That's my weather station about 10-minutes after making the 12.0 pass. I checked DragTimes as well, and it shows a DA of 1460' a little later (10:53 PM), but I don't think that station is at the track and I'm not sure where it is located.
For another point of reference, there were two C6Z's there tonight. One was a red one with aftermarket wheels and DR's (and a "427" badge on the hood) and the other car was a stock black car that belongs to a friend of a friend. Both were running 119-120 mph...which seems to be about what they run at this track.
Another point of reference...my bone stock '12 Black Edition GT-R ran 11.4 at 119.5 at OSW (bone stock) in late-April in obviously better air. It's not stock now, so it's not really a good comparison.
I'll be back next Friday, weather permitting, to try again. It will get in the 11's, even at this crummy track.
