Quake3World

this was my first time drag racing.. ever... and I don't think I did too bad. This was at the 1/8 mile Sunshine Dragstrip in St. Petersburg florida, and they had just refinished the surface so it was a bit slick. Mods are: C&L intake, brenspeed 93octane tune, and borla catback. When I get the headers, 3.73, and aluminum driveshaft in, I expect to see some much better times.

The first run was the best one as far as et goes, it was an 8.839 at 82.12mph. r/t: 1.067, 60': 2.151 On that one there was almost NO tire spin on 35psi.

The second run i was going to not go through the water pit, but the center was closed off so i had to. I had dropped the psi to 15 but i think that was waaay too low. I couldnt remember whether it was 15 or 25 was the right amount. Anyways I spun through first and half of second for an et of 9.156 at 81.33mph, 60': 2.331

third run, the same thing happened. 9.066 at 81.85mph, 60': 2.297

and the fourth and final run was the same thing AGAIN. 9.046et at 81.55, 60': 2.277


The only thing that did improve was the reaction time, as i got more and more used to it i was trying to push the limit more. Next time i go i'll be trying to redlight to see how close i can get.
The time were (in order):
1.067
.954
.881
.827

On the plus plus side i didn't lose to anyone lol

Tomorrow I am going to bradenton to run the 1/4, and see what happens there.

Lets see the 1/4 mile times :icon14:

.8 reaction time?! You should definately be able to get much lower then that mang

yeah... .500 is a perfect light, anything less is a red light.

That's what I was thinking. I heard somewhere that it basically takes .2 seconds for a human to see the light come on, .1 second to push down his foot, and then its another .2 seconds before the car comes off the line.

are we talking about real cars, or fucking toys? i can never tell with andymac

real cars

Tonight is the 1/4 mile, i'll bring my video camera so my freind can record

your car runs 35 psi boost?

I think its his tire pressure... unless his car makes 1500hp

Doombrain wrote:your car runs 35 psi boost?

tire pressure... I'll try that again tonight and 25 psi, depends on how much spinnage there is

my mates ford runs 35psi boost in a 2.0 liter v16 engine.

that's wicked if you have a car you can use for the fun of it but it's pretty hard on the parts. Hopefully it's not your daily driver

So, I take it you were the only one there in an automatic?
