Joined the 12 sec club tonight...barely
So after reading the accident Jim had with his 6 in So FL, I come with some good news of breaking into the 12s with just an intake in a roadster. I know the coupes can do it fairly easily but the drag of the top slows us down a little.
Anyway, I did have some "help" with ~4 gal of 100 octane fuel ($9.50 a gallon...ouch!). Not sure how much it helped but it definitely got up and went, down the track.
I got to race a couple modded GTO's, along with a lightly modded C5. The GTO's were ~12.7 cars and I ended up only a few tenths behind. Also, both GTO's were on DRs so I imagine if I had them it'd be an even race. The C5 I edged out probably by a fender and both of us got out of the gate pretty well. Temps were around 70 to start and my last run the temp was @ 62
Here's the breakdown: (this is the C5 race)
R/T: .190
60' : 1.970
1/8: 8.380
MPH: 84.49
1/4: 12.942
MPH 108.08
So out of the 2 compounds, Bradenton Motorsports Park and Orlando SpeedWorld. I have to say BMP takes the cake on track prep and smaller crowd. I know Orlando is pretty centrally located for everyone but maybe one of these weekends I can convince some of you to swing over this way and run.
Next Runday Sunday (9am - 5pm) is November 16th, if people want to go and I'm not too hungover from my buddy's wedding then I'm game.
