But with the weather changing and tracks closing I decided to take the car to Maryland international raceway today. The car has only been street datalogged with Jon Lund jr. So I was excited to finally get some traction logs for Jr.
Drove the car 70+ miles to the track, techd in, Aired the 305-45-17 et r tires down to 17 and pulled up to the lanes. The cars suspension is not setup for drag racing and I knew it would lack in the 60ft. But to my surprise, right off the street it went 1.49 60ft and 9.9@136!
I was blown away and stoked how awesome it felt. I came back and let car cool down while I watched/helped others. I did not do any icing or make any changes, just maintained tire pressure. Second pass I attempted to manually shift it with the select shift buttons because I felt the car lay over on big end from shifting too early. This did not work well and I blew the tires off. 10.59@135
3rd pass I just wanted to get more logs for Lund so I again left the car in drive after doing my burn out. Car fried the tires again and went 10.22@137.
Both passes with car in drive I footbraked the car to 2,000-2300 and then matted the gas.
Today was a complete blast, I’ve definitley missed being away from the scene the last 4-5yrs.
