First time at the track with GTO
So I've been wanting to run the GTO since I bought it over 2 months ago.. I finally decided to go. I usually raced at Atco(when I had my z28) but they had bracket racing Saturday so I went to Cecil County Dragway in Maryland. I made 8 passes (hot lapped), here are my times..(First stick shift at the track for me go easy!)
First pass:
R/T .417
60' 2.266
1/8 9.350 @ 78.01 MPH
1000 12.039
1/4 14.368 @ 95.83 MPH
2nd Pass:
R/T .326
60' 2.222
1/8 9.302 @ 78.57 MPH
1000 11.977
1/4 14.235 @ 100.31 MPH
Best Pass: (spun a tad/wheel hopped/then bogged)
R/T .440
60' 1.998
1/8 8.867 @ 80.32 MPH
1000 11.491
1/4 13.700 @ 102.52 MPH
I wasn't going for a good reaction time with any passes I made. Just concentrating on getting the car to launch decently. I know the car has more in it but I ran out of time to run anymore passes. I have drag bags to install and I want to get some 275 Mickey T's on my spare set of rims. I'm hoping for a 12 second pass when I get those done. The only thing I had trouble with was figuring out the best way to launch the car with minimal tire spin and no bog. I am just weary of slipping the clutch too much I guess lol..

your best pass was pretty good. proper setup will only help those times lower
just work on that launch a little more!

Thanks! I had a guy over on ls1gto tell me that his best stock/street tire time was 13.02 @ 106 with a best 60' of 1.84.(lauched at 3000-3200 rpm with a quick clutch slip) I am going to shoot for a similar time before I change anything.

Wel w/ the LS1 I guess its possible. I think the best I ever heard was a 13.2...but most see higher 13's like you.

Yea I think with a better launch and not hopping or bogging I should be able to get it!

damn it only traps 102mph stock? you would need something like a 1.60 60' to hit 12s. are you shifting into 4th gear or leaving it in 3rd?

I trapped 102 but I never got a good launch.. I kept spinning/hopping/and then bogging.. I need to slip the clutch a little more.. I am also hitting 4th gear. I tried to leave it in third but I hit the limiter before I finish.

not bad man, you can see how the shifting improved over your passes which gave u the higher trap. Just keep workin on it man. 75% of 1/4 mile times are about the driver mod. Not bad at all for first time out, those irs's are a pain to launch.

id stick w/ Atco...Etown might depress you after you run 2-3 tenths slower lol.

If your cutting 1.90's on street tires with a GTO thats not bad. Try and get a set of drag bags on it, it'll help with the wheel hop. GTO's are pita's to launch.

Haha it's funny you mention drag bags.. I've had them for a week and a half and I'm installing them today

Ummm, well it was 10-15 yrs ago when I use to race both. Maybe Etowns prep has got better for TnT.

Those times look right on for a completely stock goat. I ran a 13.54 with my predator tuned a4 04 goat. Get your 60' down to the 2.0 1.9 60 and you'll be low to mid 13s with it.

I got a 1.998 60 but I was still spinning/hopping then bogging. The 13.70 pass could have easily been a low 13 second pass if it wasn't for those issues. I am getting some ET Streets and installing my drag bags then I will see where I am at with that.

yes still very good times for your first time out. Drag radials should help out a lot! the 2.2 60 foots...thats what supras get with no low end torque...comon! Although i got a 1.9 60 foot in my mr2 with 120 ft lbs of torque. That was a clutch dump from redline with sticky tires. Traction is the name of the game i guess

My goat is going to be down for a little while thanks to my friend.
When you get the drag backs in I'll let you run my MT 275s for a few passes see what you can do about lowering your ET.
