New Street Trim PB
 

Went to Etown test and tune and just squeezed in 3 runs before getting hammered by the thunderstorms. I picked up a new PB in street trim, previous best was 11.48 @ 121:

Pass 1
60'.........1.60
1/8 et.....7.20
1/8 mph..95.3
1/4 et.....11.31
1/4 mph...120.2

Pass 2 - gave it too much for the tire, spun into 2nd
60'.........1.82
1/8 et.....7.60
1/8 mph...94.4
1/4 et.....11.73
1/4 mph...119.8

Pass 3
60'.........1.64
1/8 et.....7.20
1/8 mph...96.11
1/4 et.....11.27
1/4 mph...121.0


The drive home was a real thrillride too :rofl:

Nice!

Car sounded great. Felt bad for those you slaughtered....well not really. I bet that ride home was fun. I thought you ran a 11.3 a while back in street trim?

I really want the go pro vid off the hood of that last evo I raced haha.

Nah, only made 2 passes in street trim right before the 2012 race wars...12.0@120, then 11.48@121 - epic BigPal commentary:

Where's your jacket son?

Yessir, I wont go faster than 11.5 :nick:

Sweet. How'd the green LTJuan do?

And not a single impressive import was seen that day

So what do you change between street and track trims to gain that >0.5 second & >5 mph differential?

Adjusts dat idle.

The E36 with a turbo on the brakes going 145 wasn't bad....

Ok yes I stand corrected, he was moving. But as far as impressive launches, not so much.

$500 boost controller? Better toss it under the hood loosely banging round. :rofl:

Drag wheels/ slicks are over 100lbs lighter than my street setup, <half tank of gas, hauling less stuff around. DA also makes a pretty big difference - On my last run, the 60' was slower than the first pass, but I still went quicker from the late cool air. I think it could go 11.0 with a perfect launch in street mode.

Yeah, I figured you'd change to the big/littles and expected the air to be different (I actually thought you'd have better air at the rental than you would last night, I know it was humid up here).

That's a big difference, though. I'm sure if you kept going last night you'd keep shaving that number down. Congrats kirk.

Did you guys see the Aston Martin make a pass? He was being quite a foo in the staging lanes.

He's gone 10.72 at the rental in better air. The da last night was about +200 feet around 6:20 but the relative humidity helped for faster than sea level times, I think.

Did not see aston martin, le lame.

Saw that silly vette and a one wheel burnout chrysler though :lol:

Yeah he came in for the 3rd set of runs. did like 40 in reverse in the lanes cause he went in the wrong one. I was wondering how things would go for him...

Was very surprised not a single reverse launch was had, we need to go again soon so I can see this in real life. With the amount of bad staging, it should happen.

I was more surprised that there were no oil downs

This.

Yeah that kept things moving great.

Congrats! I saw you pull into the lanes, I was catching up with some guys that I hadn't seen in a while otherwise I would've introduced myself. They really moved things along because of the storm.

All you guys where there? Should post it on the board when u go
