Ok, so I'm a little PISSED off right now. This was the first day for the track to be open, and they did NO track prep at all. Plus the day was cold, so the track was cold, PLUS I didn't have time to take off the 18's. I fuking squelled through the first two gears evey time becuase I was getting NO traction. But it was fun to see the mustangs get some serious wheel hop.

R/T .360
1/8 10.446
1/4 16.136

R/T .057
1/8 6.924
1/4 16.174

R/T .097
1/8 10.490
1/4 16.199

R/T .001 (<--------HELL YEA)
1/8 10.561
1/4 16.285

I got twelve runs in, but these were my best.
Most of my reaction times were ~.035 area, I was killin that. But my 1/4 made me mad, since I know I can do better. There was alot of pissed off people complaining about the track. But we had a good time anyway. Just need to go back when it warms up more, and go to a different track. If I took my rims off, and got some good traction, I'm pretty sure I could pull high 15's. Oh well. Ran my baby hard, and she took it like a champ.

 

welcome to the slow world of CLs. i ran a 16.1 too with just an intake.

 

how do u do better if its automatic? i've never understood that since the computer shifts

 

Well first of all, the automatic V6's let you shift manually if you want (via 1st, 2nd, 3d, and 4d). Second, there is still alittle bit of technique in launch. You can power-brake, neutral drop, and the RPM's you do everything can make a difference.

However, technique is not nearly as important as it would be in a manual tranny, so it doesn't make a huge difference.

 

Like I said, I had 12 runs. The best were from a power brake 2000 rpm, and in D3

 

You should be looking at mid 15s with a nice track (and trac-tion hehe). I forget who it was that hit 15.5 with just an intake. I dunno if your exhaust helps or not.

 

.5 is the best reaction time you can get.

 

look at the 0.001...thats why it says hell yea

 

yea, .001 would be a redlight. .500 is the best you can get unless you are on a pro tree and then it's .400



my best is like .513

 

what were you trapping at, and 60' times??

 

LOL! thats nice of you to try and stick up for him, but he's obviously lying. that or he redlighted every run which means it doesn't even count!

 

ok, im not lying. I have the slip. at this track perfect would be .000 meaning you went at the exact time the light turned green. IF I RED LIGHTED, I would recieve a negative number. I told a friend of mine about that and they said the same thing about the Kansas City track. (that .5 is the best) This is the first time I've ever been to the track, and I told you this one was fucked up. Maybe its dif here?


KC members, anyone been to Heartland Park in Topeka?

 

What gratification would I get from lying???? If I was lying, I would say I ran a 15.5. I assume a .001 is the same as a .6 (if a .5 is perfect) And its kinda fucked up you callin me a liar.

 

Neutral drops =

Powerbraking = not quite as bad

 

how would a .001 become a .6? Even then it's not impressive :P


post time slips, shut us up :P

 

with those r/t i think he went as soon as the first yellow light came on.

16.1 inst that bad for 18's and a box.

 

:'(

 

Why you gotta be an ass? Im going to go buy a scanner or find someone who has one and post my slips. I really dont understand why you have to make yourself feel better by insulting me. Stop being so immature and grow the fuck up.

 

relax bro, you are the one making the big deal about it, we are just giving you shit.

You KS people must do it different then the rest of the world obviously

 

CLpower, not mad with you. You make it obvious that you are kidding around. I just think being called a liar is one of the wost things somebody can call me. Soodark has a problem with me for some reason, or I just dont understand his type of humor.

 

ignore him

 

I am number 7
Here is the start




Here is a false start, notice the negative number:

 

Hmm wierd. Thanks for posting that.

 

here is my best time......16.199
This is the best I could scan, Im on the right...

 

Like I said in my previous post...high 15s, low 16s.

Thats mine's gonna be sold soon. Sucks when all my friends have 13 second or faster cars.

 

^^why

**damn 5 min rule**

 

^^what?

 

i forgot to add the word "why" in my previous post.

 

Dumbasses, it depends if its a pro tree or not. If it is, .5 is perfect. If not, .000 is.

 

umm...your gonna get flamed from hell for calling us dumbasses....shoudnt have said that first word......

 

hey no problem with you man, just alot of BSers around boards like this and it sounded like you were kinda lying, cause i've never heard of a track like that. I do however stand corrected now, so for showing me.

 

that's why you need both

 

i've never been to a track that does .000 it's either .400 for a pro tree or .500 for the track days out of about 6 or 7 tracks i'v ebeen too

 

Dude, Heartland park is trashy as hell...they were going to close it down after allt he shit that happened last year. Where around KC are you? You should be spending your time at KCIR, down in Raytown, take 435 to the 87th street exit and then go east, you will run into it on your left hand side...

there is no way you can pull better than a .500, at lesat not a real racetrack (one that isnt jacked up like Heartland)

 

edit**** you can pull better than a .500, just not anywhere I have ever been

 

haha thats means i can smoke a stok 3.0 ahah so slow.

 

What you got 1st_gen? The 2.2/2.3 with the H22 swap? Or another 3.0 with some mods? You should come down over here and run ya car, let me know if your ever interested.

 

.400 for a pro tree; .500 for "regular tree" = PERFECT!

I suck at the pro tree. I ALWAYS red light!
