Got a chance to hit the track this friday once again (3rd time in 3 weeks, lol).
My best run before was: 12.6 @ 109 w/ 1.957 60ft
Last night my best was: 12.3 @ 111 w/ 1.778 60ft

Last night was a much better temp than freezing- it was 55-60. The coldest it got was 48 when I left the track at 8:30pm.

The other changes were I put my stock rims/tires (Michelin P2s) back on and I removed the front grill. I don't know how much of a difference the later made but I heard other say they ran their best times with the grill off.

So with my mods I'm where I should be considering I'm a heavy driver (280) roughly 100lbs heavier than most others on here- which will account for a tenth. However my trap is still a little low.

If, for example, an extra 100lbs accounts for a 1/10th, would it affect traps as much as say 3mph? Or were the low HP numbers my car showed on dyno the culprit (342hp/360tq)?

 

Excellent 60ft with stock tires. Post your launching/burnout technique.

Great times!

 

Great job Glen! I knew you had that 1.7 60ft in you! :P

 

I learned from the 60ft Jedi Master...Chris (distantpulse). So long as he's ok with me reciting his technique I'll go through it.

 

Lmao! :P I don't know about all that now, but I have had success treating it like my other race cars. Fire away!

 

I think that extra 100lbs helped the rear tires stick to the track better!!! Nice times.

 

Here is an old post with my technique. Last post on first page.

Also, here is the video of me making a run from start to finish.

Hope this helps out.

 

Great improvement! Either your a fast learner or the computer is adapting to the new parameters... or both or neither. I'm just real happy for you.

After reading that old post I have nothing to add. Chris is the man.

 

Better track temps, and took the crappy All-Season tires off!
