I Went To The Track Today

[Redog]

OK so I didn't want to say anything about this track day, but even though 1WhiteOSV's car is no more, I did get to wondering what mine will do with the new tranny and PCM installed

8th run of the day, lost traction and didn't bother killing it down the track

15.757 @ 82.10

I won't even waste your time posting that slip

Let's get to the good stuff, remember, no spray, no turbo, no s/c, all motor

[Redog]

Yes I surprised myself today, all runs where done in a little lass than an hour

run #3 14.790 @ 90.52

[doubleN0alero]

whoever you ran against there just ate your lunch...LOL

[Redog]

run #2

14.763 @ 91.45

Still not beating White OSV :wtf:

[Redog]

Run #1



Bad light, frst race in 3 months.


but 14.725 @ 90.92 :yahoo:

[Redog]

Better light in this run



14.710 @ 91.51 :yahoo: :yahoo:

If my r/t was where it should be, and I didn't chip off the line, I had him

I don't care, T&T :thumb:

[Redog]

Wait keep reading, it's getting better




14.688 @ 91.11 :blink:

WTF did this come from?????

[Redog]

No it still gets better

14.624 @ 91.30 :yahoo: :wacko: :smokin: :cool:

[Redog]

Now WTF happened here?

I went to lauch and almost went to the 2nd amber. I should have done it anyway, T&T doesn't matter, plus I don't know what RPM I launched at.

I think it was 2000 which is too high. Plus I chipped the tires here too.

Can I claim Fastest with this run? Fastest without any power adders?



14.539 @ 91.94 :dance1: :notworthy:

[johny_boy32]

WOW, i'm impressed. Those are some nice runs. Congrats man.

[99BLKALERO]

[eag182]

It will be less than before, my car is only semi retired :pimp:

Thanks everybody, I couldn't even believe it

[Redog]

The 14.68 run was a funny one actually.

I raced a worked up 90 Beretta and he beat me first time out, it was the run that I ran a 14.763 and he ran a 14.664 I pulled him off the line but he caught up, if my r/t was better I would have beat him, proving that r/t wins races sometimes.

Anyway, I run up against him again, I jumped out of the hole with a standard r/t for me .066 (less than .100)

He had a stick and when I pulled on him, he panicked and tried to peadle to catch up to me but gave aup at the 1/8 mile. I stopped to get my slip and he flew past me and didn't enev bother to get my slip.

I said to the woman giving out the slips, "he's pissed because I beat him" She siad "He'll get over it" in fact he wouldn't race until I left :lol:

Would have been a nice bracket race, actullay I would have had a lot of nice brackets today

I lauched at 1500 rpms which is easier on the tranny, but the 14.62 I lauched at 1250 and it was better than my 14.68 which was a 2000 launch. I think the 14.5 was a 1000 launch

[Daytona]

Ken,

1) Your lights STILL suck! :lol:

2) I've told you before about not launching too high against the convertor. With automatics you NEVER want to launch at or above your stall speed. You want to leave at least 200-500 RPM margin between your stall speed and your actual launch RPM. That is why your lower RPM launches proved to be quicker.

3) Nice job. :thumb:

The first one, I couldn't see the tree. The sun was right on it. :shout:

No racing for 3 months, hurt. I don't like getting higher than .100 on the tree, but the .066 was pretty sweet :cool:

But on you're orginal comment, I know :emotlol:

[1WhiteOSV]

Awesome run(s) man...congrats! Wish I still had my Alero to beat ya again! lol......

[Creeper]

Nice runs man. I want to build my 2.2L up without any forced induction. It appears to be possible to pull 300+ hp out of it but it will cost about the same as putting forced induction. slow as it goes. You should look into the Ecotec engine handbook. :thumb: :thumb:

[Redog]

I got the V6

[b-spot]

Holy poop! Was it way colder out than your 14.9xx?

If thats just your PCM, i'm guessing you felt a big difference when you put it in? Or did this suprise you?

Very respectable times. Never thought I'd see mid 14's on an NA alero.

[SweetNLow]

redog....... do u ever go to the track when its above 40 degrees? or do u just always go when its freezing outside.

u know that ur times are off by prolly .5 compared to if ur racing in NORMAL conditions.

[Redog]

14.9 was when it was 65 degrees :rolleyes:

[SweetNLow]

14.5 when its 35

14.9 when its 65

15.2 when its 75...... im guessing

i dont know why ur rolling ur eyes at me...... if everyone only went to the track when u do there numbers would be scewed as well. if ur such the drag racing then u should realize just exactly why u run the times u run.

[Redog]

Actually it's 15.2 when it's about 85

but this is just for you



:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[SweetNLow]

haha well i was pretty close then wasnt i.

lots of people could break into the 14's if there went to the track in the january

[Oldsman]

anyone wanting to get a good time why not run when the air is colder that way you don't lose hp and actually gain hp.

racing when it is 90-100 deg outside is just dumb. way too hot.

since when did acertain range of temp outside come into play in time slips. ok so if you raced at the drag strip and the air temp was not between 70-90 deg it is not really a true time. WTF. that is just stupid.

[SweetNLow]

casue in my opinion its misleading. kinda like not entering ur car in the proper judging class ;) im entitiled to my opinion.

oh i see..............but what was it that someone said once.............most of these people don't know the difference.... or something like that.


yes you are entitled to your own opinion.

[whiteliquid]

It's been around the 60's here lately.

We have a track about an hour away, I'm kinda curious on what time i can get for n/a. I'll post up a pic of the slip when(and if) I go.

3.4 v6 smR(super medallion) exhuast.

[Menace]

I also feel that it would be dumb to race when its hot out. Imho its pretty smart to race out when its cold that way you get better times. How can you flame someone for using common sense.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[Daytona]

^Exactly.

[b-spot]

I'm of the opinion any run made in cold weather should have a statement of the temperature with the time, just as MikeSS used to do when he'd run his low 15's with his 2.2L.

[Daytona]

^True dat.
