July 23rd Milan Dragway video

[jpapa]

Here's a nice video my bro put together of a few of us Michiganders taking a trip to Milan this past Saturday. I think it's pretty good. Let me (and him) know what you guys think.

Don't degrade it for being on streetfire, because the quality (video and sound) tend to go down on that site...

I like how my licence plate was slathered all over a video of me doing illegal and/or warrenty voiding activities. LOL Just kidding I would never do anything to Void my warrentyy. Nice job. Bit long. But over all I like it because I am in it.

I don't think any part of that video showed YOU doing illegal things, it just shows you driving around pretty normally. And that was a different blue IRL on the track.....

Our times can get better, that being both of ours first times running down the track. My brother couldn't get my last run taped because he couldn't get in place in time...but I went up against that '06 GTO at the 4 min. mark, and I ran a 14.9 finally, and he ran a 15.25. So I beat him, and was ahead of him the whole way He messed up his launch and missed a shift I think, but Al can chime in here and confirm me beating him.

Nice video. It looked like on a lot of your runs the launches were less than perfect and your 60' was consistenly suffering. Get more practice and that can change. Your trap speeds show that you guys could be in the 14's, I'm sure with practice, you guys will get there without any mods. Also, what was the weather like?

The weather wasn't too bad for a humid Michigan day surprisingly. It was hot out, 85-90, but the humidity wasn't too bad, so I don't see it as having a big effect on the times.

With my launches, I was able to control the wheel hop. I barely had any, but got traction pretty quick after slipping the clutch and not going WOT right away. My 60 ft times started at 2.47s and my best was 2.36s. A little more practice and I can probably get those down to 2.2x.

PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!!!...lol...my first time out i ran an 11.3 at the track...1/8th mile that is... ...last time i went i ran a 9.523@75.35 with a 60 ft of 2.273...
