1st time a the track today...

[RLx02]

went to the fayetteville drag strip here in n.c I'm from seattle, wa originally and back home there are tons of imports so its not uncommon to see like a 17 second civic ex automatic run and the next car be like a 11 second turboed civic hatch or something like.

Here there were only 11-12 second camaros and mustangs, a few srt-4s and some 1.8t golf/jettas. Hardly any imports. As a matter of fact, when I came, i was the only eclipse there, no hondas, no nissans, no japanese cars except for mine.

anyways, i ran 3 times and my 1st run i pulled my best e.t but had a bad reaction time. I had a best reaction time of .662 but i peeled out all the way through 1st gear so i had a bad e.t of 15.5


my best run (sorry no scanner or digicam...only phone camera right now)

reaction -.7754
60' - 2.2242
1/8th - 9.6541
1/4 - 15.04 @92.48mph

is that pretty good for a mildly modded spyder gst? (i hope this doesnt fall under bench racing cuz i actually did race my car... i just dont know a lot of spyder owners who will say to this time...)

i have currently installed...

sounds about right? Mind you this was my very first time at the drag strip...i like to autocross more than drag race.

Moved to track talk.


P.S. I wouldn't type those 4 letters in again. You should read the rules about that.

Not bad, trap speed could be a bit higher. How much boost are you running?

PS Reaction time has no effect on ET.

But your sixty foot time does

2.22 60' time is not too shabby for street tires, especially in the extra heavy Spyder. Keep at it, its all fun from here.

For a FWD that is not bad at all. I was just stating that the 60' time will affect the ET versus the reaction time that will not
