Well, took the Galant out to Capitol Raceway today. I figured since it will be going away for the winter soon, I might as well take it out and try to break it. Despite my efforts, the car held up like a boss.
It's been years since I was in the pilot's seat at the track, and my first few passes made that blatantly obvious. I made an epic 14.8 pass at one point
Also, my tuning skills are far from pro, so I think there's much to be gained there as well. Overall though, I got the car running decent, and starting driving decent.
I made 7 passes, the best of which was a 13.6 @ 100mph. I was running all day on 93 pump @ 17ish PSI. I was struggling to tune the knock out of the car all day. Toward the end of the day, I felt like I was getting the car fairly dialed in just as the track was closing. I'll do some work on the street, and hopefully make some improvements for next time.
I went with my buddy Dan in his 1GA Talon. His best time of the day was like 13.3 or so. There was another DSM there running mid 12s on E85. Aside from us 3, just ton's of muscle heads there. It was a great time, and I'm hoping to make another trip there before the close for the season. Here's a photo dump of the day, as well as vids from my 2 quickest passes.
