I was the only tC out there, seriously. I got some practice needed on my launches, but my best ET of the night was a 9.19 @ 77.19mph

Nice.. i've been a couple of times. Too bad its an 1/8 mile track and not 1/4.

Hit me up next time u go.

 

Ya, I would go California Speedway but its hardly ever open. It's only about 3 miles from my house, while Irwindale is about 30 mins from my house.

Anyways heres my slip...

 

Not bad, Not bad at all...Congrats

 

sorry for a stupid question, but any way for the guys who half to run on 1/8 mile tracks to be able to ( with some accuracy ) convert those numbers into 1/4 times? I know there are variables; just didn't know if something simple existed.

 

KILLER TIME! You would have hit a 14.1 or possibly a 14.0 with an 8th like that... Darn that sucks you were not on a 1/4 mile track! I was going to go tonight to firebird, but the weather has been nasty... if it clears up good I will run tonight.

 

yea man, thats pretty impressive...good jub turning that decent 60ft

 

Ya thanks guys, it was pratice getting that time even. I'm sure that with better tires a 9 flat or a 8.9 would be possible, but still plenty of practice launches away. Haven't quite gotten down the right technique yet. But I'm going to California Speedway the end of this month, I'm crossin my fingers on that one...haha

 

nice, good times

 

And what kind of tires where you on for these runs?

 

i'll say one thing. thats a pretty damn good reaction time. what were you racing?

 

Tires were BFGoodrich G-Force Sports. I stayed with stock size 215/45/17, but I'm gunna get some dummies with drag radials... prob Nitto 555R's

The other car was a trans am, prob 2000-01.

 

did you spin on your launch or did you mantain traction?

 

the launch was pretty good. But I think with practice I can bring down my ET more. That was only my 3rd run having the s/c...so I dont have much track time with it.

 

shoot for the .5. does irwindale have a perfect light club too?

 

wow thats really weird that you both had the exact same 60 foot, and a 2.1 60 is pretty darn good for a tc s/c

 

very respectable 60'. nice job....you didn't Pchop his 60 into yours, did you? (totally kidding).

 

nice time

 

No, sorry I don't have photoshop... lol

But I plan on turning some better times so stay tuned guys.

 

I don't know what it was, but on my other runs I was trapping 78-79mph it's weird that my fastest time was my slowest MPH???
