1st Time down the track (TAD)

[oatburner99]

At the end of the track, the shutdown has a big ass curve where the highway cut back to the left.

Definitely not much traction out there, but it still makes for a fun time.

yeah the shutdown area is kinda scarey. Granted my little 14 second coupe isn't all that fast, but from the finish line to end curve (at 100 mph) comes up real quick. I couldn't imagine having a 9-10 second car going 150+ mph and have to slowdown ...LOL

Hahahaha not gonna disagree....everyone always needs improvement. Kinda stating the obvious aren't you?



wanna cookie? I'd like to see your 60ft times @ Academy on bald tire's. obviously you can't read either...tire's were posted up top.

I'd like to see why your 1/4 mile trap speeds are the same as my 1/8mile.

Look Mike, someone you can beat!

I'm surprised they didn't make you roll up that window.

1/4- 17.73 @ 87.41 mph
1/4- 15.03 @ 91.49 mph
1/4- 14.84 @ 93.30 mph
1/4- 14.79 @ 92.50 mph
1/4- 15.26 @ 92.01 mph

Took the coupe to the track tonight at the ricekiler meet at northstar.

1st pass 9.5 @ 78 with 2.4 60ft.
2nd was 9.0 @ 78 with 2.0 60ft.

Now I aint no mathmagician, but this explains a lot.

Not trying to insult your car or techniques but considering a stock 90' LX Coupe could pull off high 13's/low 14's at around 100mph right off the showroom floor back in 90'....I would say your car...or you needs some work.

I think if he takes these 2 runs and add in a 1.8x 60' time, he'd have low 14s...and high 13s on a better track. I'd say his car runs about what it should for that 60'.

3rd Run (left lane) :

1/4- 14.84 @ 93.30 mph
Reaction Time-.5289
60ft-2.2309

4th run (left Lane) :

1/4- 14.79 @ 92.50 mph
Reaction Time-.2782
60ft-2.2314

Awesome!

All BS aside, oatburner99 nice ride....practice makes perfect...welcome to the site!!

Lol, wow I thought his was mid 80 mph..

When I had stock 2.73s I'd trap 80-81mph in the 1/8th.

I'd hope id pick up more then 10mph with an extra 1/8mile.

I'm not being an ass about it, just having fun.

Absolutely! I made the mistake of not dropping pressure for (1) and (2) I know the car could get better times. I spent so much time on the line spinning, that's what ate up my time. That and not cutting a good light. Which I'll only get better with practice.That 14.79 run obviously was the fastest, but I spun there too. Also I think bumping my timing would help a bit. I'm running a short belt now. Didn't ice the intake down. All the tricks that I've read about, I didn't do LOL....I plan on trying again here before to long. gotta learn from your mistakes. Which I thought I was doing a pretty good job of, going from a 17 second run to a 14.7. Thanks for the input guys. Appreciate it.

Cutting a good light has nothing to do with your e.t. The timer does not start until you move.

Get some sticky tires and you will be dragging 91CoupeMike like everybody else does on this website
