Default Just took the S2K to the Track...

W'up my fellow S2K buddys. I got the car about a week and a half ago. The Track grand opening was today so my homeboy with a WRX wanted to go. So I took it to the track for the first time without much practice how to launch it. It was a pretty good day, a lot of cars were there. Saw a lot of Evo and STi, and of course a bunch of Domestic. The best part of the day was when I saw a Mercedes Benz SL ing 65 AMG BiTurbo. That shit was ing amazing, damn. He show us how he can drop the top and put the top back on with the window roll up with a remote control. You don't even need to turn on the engine or anything. God damn that shit is nice. Got some picture of it but I'll upload in a lil' bit.

Here's my time, I think it's pretty good but give me your opinion.

My 1/4 time:
1) 14.71
2) 14.73
Elimination round: I dial in 14.5 - This is when I got the best time of the day.
1) 14.55 and I won.
2) 14.66 and I won.

But I left because my friend got eliminated the first round and we were hungry so I didn't run anymore. Pictures is coming real soon, I didn't take much. Just mostly the SL 65 AMG

Glad you enjoyed yourself and had a working differential at the end of the first day!

I'm not into dragging so I'm not going to get into a pissing match about times...
But mid-high 14's isn't good.
What did you launch at?
Be careful with 'er

I saw the title, and thought it was a "real" track. Glad you had a good time though, and dragging can be fun, just not a S2K strong point.

Real driving involves turns.

Glad you had fun, though.

The number to look at with dragging is your 60' times. That's essentially how you track how good your launches are.
