Went to Sacramento to the drags last night. First time ever dragging anything. I ran 6 times with my times varying from 13.9 - 14.4. I raced a mustang cobra (mid 90's) and won, a '99 or '00 z28 and lost by .01 (I had a terrible reaction time and still put down a 14.01. I actually was as far back as 1/4 car and by the end we kept into it past the line and I pulled ahead of him), some blown out mustang that was running 12's and I WON (of-course that is because he blew something up at about 60mph), a couple generation 2 integras and won handily and I raced another S2k. He is a member here and if he wants to identify himself he can. The 13.9 I hit last night was a good launch, but I have launched better on the street and actually, my 14.01 was a much better launch and had a higher trap speed, I was just sooooo pre-occupied with my rpm's that I had a crappy reaction time (about 1/2 a second slower than my 13.9). Overall, I was happy with my performance, however I really think that with more time and experience launching the car, I think I could hit a 13.8 or 13.7. One thing for sure, I never thought I would get addicted to drag racing...I am hooked .

 

When you got 13.9 and 14.01 what rpm did you launch at?

 

man how many miles do you have no your '03? does the clutch feel weaker now(since you drag raced)?

 

Any mods? Stock? If so good runs!

 

The 13.9 was at 5700. The track got stickier as the night went on and the 14.01 was a 6500 launch. The other S2000 there ran around 9:30 and said he did a 7k launch and bogged. I launched at 6500 around 9:00 and bogged.

4k. No, it got a little smelly and hot after 3 runs. I left and took a 5 or 6 mile drive and then let it sit for about an hour before running again. It seems just fine.

Ditto
i want to destroy my GTi

 

What where your 0 to 60 ft. also what was your 1/8 mile trap and time. Thanks.

 

Nice times, your reaction time has nothing to do with your et's, the clock starts after you trip the light. What was your trap speed?

 

i cant deside if i want to take my s to the track or not. i kinda like my rear end and i think i might need it in my car. : / i use to drag my 5.0 mustang all the time. but the s i dont know about.
