Went Dragging Again

MikeSS · 07-11-2004, 01:46 PM

So I went dragging again last night. The conditions at the track weren't bad, but the air temp was really warm. I could only get 15.7......4 times. My best was a 15.72

issed: .

Oh well. I was getting some wicked wheel hop, and the other two times I went and got 15.5 and 15.4 it was like 7-10 degrees cooler. (15-20 degrees American)

Anyway, once I get my digital camera back today, I'll post some pics.

Oh, yeah, I am car 234 on three sheets, and for some reason car 240 on one sheet.

And yes, I know I red lighted one run

I went drag racing this past weekend with my Grand Am/Grand Prix club again. I had a blast as usual. I took off my 17' rims awhile ago and I am back on my 15' rims. I didn't beat me PB cause of the horrible wheel spin I kept getting.

My best run was a 15.555 and I had 3 other runs in the 15.5's, about 5 in the 15.6's and many more in the 15.7's. We had a bracket racing challenge in which I made it to the semi's.....but then broke out. I had a huge lead and ran a 15.629 when I was dialed in at a 15.660. I shoulda tapped the brakes at the end since I had a big lead, but oh well. It was still fun.

I think I have hit a wall right now time wise until I either upgrade my tires, or get some new mods.

ptrudel · 08-17-2004, 09:21 AM

a 15.5xx is a good run man...i gotta try a run with stock 15's instead of my chrome 18's...should make a lil difference i think...

got any other pics or no?

MikeSS · 08-17-2004, 09:37 AM

There were pics taken, I just gotta wait for them to post, then I'll get some.

Redog · 08-17-2004, 10:02 AM

I don't see the red light :unsure:

Nice times and pic

Dude go on the 3rd amber. R/T's in the .100's or lower :thumbsup:

Redog · 08-17-2004, 10:05 AM

Sorry I read the post wrong.

15 to 20 degrees is a lot. Don't let it get you down. I ran a 15.41 on a 61 degree day but I run 15.80 on a 90 degree day. Humidty plays a bigger factor though

Again 3rd amber, trust me, you'll be very happy. Daytona will say the same

MikeSS · 08-17-2004, 10:55 AM

I'm actually leaving between the second and third amber. Clocks are dialed in at .500
Any of my reaction times below .500 are too fast (I think I got a .493).

I'll post my slips when I get home, I got a .512 and a .522 Those were my best reactions. A guy in my class got a .500 TWICE. I couldn't beleiv he had a perfect reaction twice.
