Anyone have any input?

WTF, bad weather? (and all my extra weight)

One thing is for sure, I'm ran super consistent... 4- 15.1 runs and 4 15.2 runs.... that was a good thing.

 

TOO HOT AND TOO HUMID!!!
Taking the sub box out would help a bit too.
You probably aren't getting any traction with your tires either.

I have only ran at the track once, and my best time was 15.193.
I am bone stock engine wise, and I left everything in my car, spare, etc etc. I also have 235/45 tires. They are Toyo T1S's but I was spinning them on my launch. I also think that they were TOO heavy!!!

Here is my best:

TEMP = 72
HUMIDITY = 53


R/T = .858
60' = 2.357
330' = 6.479
1/8 = 9.823
MPH = 72.14
1000' = 12.735
1/4 = 15.193
MPH = 91.76

I have NEVER been to the drag strip before, this was my first time. I don't think you did to bad SiGGy.

 

Its the weather, I ran a 15.22x last night(my only run) and my end speed was 91 mph.

I've run 14.8 twice before, and a few 14.9s. Wait till that humidity goes down a bit, and you'll be set.

 

Heat kills.

 

heat humidity kills!!!! I won't go back to the track until late september. It's to worth the time or the money.

Considering the conditions i think you did considerably well!!

 

too hot. which track? i70 kc east? and where do u get 104?

 

Kansas City International Raceway

it's only 15-20m from here.

They sell 104 octane for $4 a gallon.

 

When there when I first got my car. Wearing that helmet, it was so, so hot I never want to go back. I had pretty lousy times IMO, too. Got smoked by my friend's S4 but beat his wife's 3-series every time. Any way to race on the new Kansas Motor Speedway?

 

Hmm, mabye, not that I know of off hand. But I'll ask around. A few of my friends know a bunch about that place.

I probably go back in a couple of months to KCIR. I'll send ya a PM next time I go. Mabye you'll be up for it again

 

WELL i ran a 13.838 / 102 MPH at moroso in west palm beach humidity was pretty much 90% and it was about 89 degrees...but i cheated i was using a 65 shot of ZEX.

 

That's like guys on steroids hitting 70 HRs
