Track night

I went to the local track looking to break into the elusive 10 second club. Conditions were pretty good and my mods are as follows:

2.3 ported TVs trinity with 2.4 pulley
67mm tb
123cai
72lb injectors and vmp boost a pump.
Kooks headers and off-road hpipe.
3:73 gears
Suspension upgrades

first run I had a bad burnout and didn’t come out the hole aggressive at all because of it. Boom it hooked anyway.

alright so I let it sit an hour and cool down. Decide to launch harder this time. Boom it hooks again. I am smoking my shifts and am on my way to the 10’s. Then disaster struck. I missed 4th. Can you believe that. I was so jacked I guess I just screwed up. Anyway:

Now I am pissed and hot lap it. I decide I will really launch aggressive this time. Take it up to a lil over 5000 rpm. It spins, and I do my best.

1.95 60

I am disappointed and decide to hot lap it again and launch around 4000 rpm, like I did on my best 60. I totally screw up the launch and bogged and go. I was not smooth at all.

I called it a night. It was getting late. And they had two incidents Tonight that left oil on track and took about 1 hour 30 minutes To clean up both. It was kinda aggravating how long it took to clean track. Still had fun just a lil frustrated that I messed up my best run by missing 4th of all things. It’s like a glass ceiling I just can’t break. I need to get better and more consistent on the launch. I do have to say my suspension and tires seemed to be working great. I am happy about that for sure. Just need a driver mod. Until next time.

One last thing. On My first run I had a guy with an old firebird Race car. You could tell it wasn’t gonna be the fastest but he had it setup right and absolutely launched like a rocket. By mid track he had two car lengths I would say but I was reeling him in. The back half of the track I absolutely ran him down and took the win by half a car. Ain’t gonna lie it was quite the rush lol.

You should just be happy you went to the the track. It snowed where I live yesterday.

Funny, I was just thinking the exact same thing up here in CT smh. Really hate this place!

Ya, I mean, MA and CT are tough enough states to live in. Add snow in October, FML

What tire were you on? You drop that 60' just a little bit and you are in the 10's for sure. Congrats!

No snow, but we just got finished getting hit by by a category 2 almost 3 hurricane. In late October no less. My lights just got turned on at 3:30 pm yesterday. Thank god it was a fast mover and a cold front came thru right after. Only 2 days out of electricity. I will take it. 10-20 miles below me got hit hard. The eye passed over me but the bad part of eye wall hit lower.

m@h race master 275/45/18 are my tires.

it was fun, but like I said it was really frustrating knowing that I blew my best run in a 4th gear shift!!!!.

Jealous. Glad you were able to get to the track and have some fun. Have had more than my share of these kind of track days.

Nothing wrong with those times.
Weather is getting right down here for good times.

I agree, those were decent times. And more important, you got to get to a track and have some fun. Sounds like your highlight was racing that Firebird. With practice will come better times!
