My First Time Ever at the Track...

[damax03]

Well yesterday I finally made it to the track (RT66 Raceway in Joliet, IL) and I had a great time, but wanted to run my times by you guys for some input good or bad.

My mods are in my profile, I ran 100 octane race gas with 15.5 pounds of boost.

Here is my best time when it was about 75 degrees and about 75% humidity.

R/T - .214
60' - 1.955
330 - 5.889
1/8 - 9.212 @ 73.18
1000 - 12.014
1/4 - 14.423 @94.61

I have had my car since May 31st and learned to drive stick on it. I am pretty good buy still have plenty of room for improvement. Recomendations, suggestions, and observations would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. After leaving the track I got a race with a new Neon SRT-4 and showed him what AWD can do!

i thought the fastest reaction time you could get was .5???

he prolly red lighted.

 

[damax03]

it was a test and tune and the perfect light was .000000

some guy won a $100 gift certificate for dyno tuning for a .002 r/t

To get a zero on reaction times you would have to launch on the 2 yellow, which is wrong, you can only launch when the green comes on, and the best allowed is .500, any faster than that your taking off in a yellow, you would lose the race even if you crossed the 1/4 mile first.

some tracks have new trees now that are l.e.d. or somthing like that that the best is a .00 and not a .50

Can someone comment on my times other than my r/t? so that I can get some feedback, its not worth arguing about the r/t. I made the post so that I can become more knowlegable about how to race my car and where I may have gone wrong.

 

[damax03]

not one person has even one comment or suggestion?

Try to cut a mid 1.8 60FT, and run about 20 PSI. Im not kidding, it wont hurt anything and it will drop off neways. Just get what you can out of that turbo and enjoy it for the 2000 rpm you have it.

Non sense in running race gas and such low boost. If you aren't going over 15 psi run pump....
