A Day at the Track

[Vita]

well, three of us here on the forums went to the track. SatRedL, Fineline and me. it was a good time, there were some fast cars there, and some cars that seemed like they should have done better... including us

my personal best was a 14.9 at just under 95 mph, which seemed to be pretty good, as i ran against a new GTO that only ran a 14.5 (and he took the liberty to put his hazzards on at the end...)

there were a couple pretty fast civic turbos there, a stock SRT and he was pretty cool. i ran against him a bunch of times. he was pulling 14.3-14.8's, one race where i botched the launch, he was in the 15's, and it was my only chance to take him, but didn't. good times, i've got a bunch of slips to post, and some video. what's the best way for me to post video?

It's all about having fun and getting to know your car.

where is this track located?

I was SUPPOSED TO BE THERE!

[Vita]

yes you were, after noon or so things died down and it was go, drive back, go, drive back, go, drive back, go. i got in quite a few runs...

we were consistently around 15, i was the only one to break 14's, with an average of 15.3, launching at the track is a whole new world to me, not quite like the stoplight to stoplight runs i'm used to

[SatredL]

Yeah, it was a good time. Where the hell were you spooner? Launching off that light is a lot different than the stoplight Grand Prix's we're all so used to. My best was a 15.064 @93mph The diesel pickup trucks were unbelievable running 13's

Family changed their departure date for the summer from Monday to Sunday... really pissed me off, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. What were the track temp and such like? Pretty warm? Humid?

[SatredL]

It was decent, mid 70's warm enough be be comfortable,not hot enough to sweat.

yeah, it was a nice warm, probably was a little humid from the rain overnight

i have to add, i was running with a full tank of gas, in full street trim (didn't remove anything) and didn't mess with tire pressures, so i think i did ok compared to some other times i have seen here
