So today me and a few ppl went out to HRP for some runs. I ran my S, a friend(bernard) ran his freshly street tuned evo, and another friend(tony) made his first track passes today. All in all it was a very good time and all cars that raced drove there and back just fine.:thumbsup: I got there and let the car cool maybe 10 minutes as we took Tony's headlight off and changed his tires, then headed to the lanes.
Enough talk now onto the times, I dont know the order of the first several passes, but the last 2 passes I know.

My mods: Invidia Test pipe 70mm, J's racing knock off cooling plate, Kumho ASX All season tires, "Gutted" stock air box, K&N Drop in air filter(i think?..) To me its still pretty much considered stock with worse than OEM tires.

Again I dont know the orders of these first few passes:

1/8TH: 9.436 @ 78.63MPH
1000: 12.142
1/4: 14.430 @ 98.58MPH
This pass I spun a good amount of first gear.

Went to the pit and was going to let the car cool down and take off the air filter before i took another pass but Matthew said the track closes at 8. It was already about 7:45 or 7:50 So I took my air filter off and ran to the line.
Not only did i take the filter off, i started to go ahead and try something different on the launch.... do it harder..

RT:.244
60': 2.102 (SWEET ITS GOING DOWN)
1/8TH: 9.514 @ 76.87MPH
1000: 12.255
1/4: 14.554 @ 98.50MPH
I missed 2nd gear on that run. After seening my sixty and having my car feel stronger with no filter, I rushed back into the lanes and made the last pass that track saw for the night.

RT: .463
60': 2.093
1/8TH: 9.043 @ 79.94MPH
1000: 11.712
1/4: 13.970 @ 99.97MPH

Needless to say I went home very satisfied and happy. My goal today was to break 13's. Reading on S2k forums, I see alot of mid 14's and a handfull of 13's from a basically stock S with the same or more parts then I have. I did what I wanted, now to build for more!

I believe I posted those slips in the order they happened, but not 100% sure. Not like it matters anyways..
WOOOT!!

 

Nice runs. What did you launch at and what were the psi on your tires?

 

first several passes i think i launched around 7k ish.. last two i'd say were close to 8.5k. I didnt look at my tach, just listened to the motor and watched the tree. For sure around 8k+ on the last 2 passes though, and the tires were at a regular 30psi =). I would have toyed with stuff more but track was closing sooner then i expected.

 

Did you dump the clutch or feather it?

 

I never dump it.

 

I thought you were supposed to dump it

 

good times are you at some location where it is cold right now?

 

you can dump it, I like to keep my diff alive.

Im in SE Texas, not really cold but its cooling down.
