Went to Crapitol Raceway:
Set up:
Spare & Jack removed
Tires at 32
Fresh Mobile1 5W-30
820 miles on car
90F and MUGGY
What I did:
Launched at about 2000 RPMs
Lots of wheel spin off the line
Spinning when I hit 2nd
Almost missed 3rd (slow shift)
Closing in on redline at the end of the track so I shifted to 4th (another bad shift)
Shifted around 6500 RPM at least each time.
THE STATS:
R/T -1.030
60' - 2.255
330 - 5.950
1/8 - 8.892
MPH - 83.47
1000 - 11.402
1/4 - 13.541
MPH - 104.19
I beat the SS next to me. He did a 13.880 @ 101.18
A C5 was doing 13.7's at 108 to 110...
THAT WAS UGLY!!! I only did 1 run cause I forgot helmet.
1. I cant drive.
2. HOT air sucked.
3. I cant drive.
4. Next time bringing helmet.
5. Next time going to MIR where the track is better - less spin.
I did have a good time though. I sat back and watched some of the other cars run. One SS got into the 12's... He had small front tires. The C5 had at least some K&N's...
VERY VERY disapointed in my times. I think if I got used to the car some and the temps where cooler I could prolly do at least a 12.6-7 or so...
Anyone know how to laucch these cars? I am used to auto's... Should I have hit 4th?
:gt: :cuss: :shrug: :cryying:
