Default Re: First Time at Track

Had a great time. It was nice to meet you, Paul.

DA ranged from about 2000' down to about 1600' (according to dragtimes.com)

Only got 4 runs in since I showed up at about 7pm and there were a couple of track clean-ups. (Hour and a half between runs 3 and 4)

1. 60' 1.905 1/4 12.623@109.42
2. 60' 1.857 1/4 12.530@110.66
3. 60' 1.866 1/4 12.576@109.28
4. 60' 1.952 1/4 12.705@108.98

I was happy to pull those 12.5s in the weather we have here in the summer. Last time I went I was getting 12.7s and 12.8s Track prep was good. I could have launched at a bit higher RPM, but I was a little tentative about that, since it has bitten me in the *** before for trying.

I think I need to save up some money and get the Needswings mani's

Found out that night that there is a new 1/8 mile track in Orlando, somewhere near Seaworld. I don't like running just the 1/8, so I don't know if I'll ever go to check it out. The guy I talked to said the cost to run is the same as OSW ($15), and the track prep was pretty much non-existent.
