I just got back from Long Island motorsports raceway. I got a total of like 15 runs which was good. I started out w/ a couple of 14.8's and 14.7's...which is way better than I started 3 weeks ago. This is only my second time at a track ever. After a couple of runs I started getting 14.6's which is what I did a best of last time. Then I got a 14.5 and a couple more of 14.6's. No big deal yet. then I let the car cool off for like 40 minutes or so and went back out. My last 5 runs got better and better each run. I finally got my launch down perfect. Here are my last 5 runs in decending order.
1. 60 ft - 2.194
1/4 - 14.442
ET - 97.22

2. 60 ft - 2.182
1/4 - 14.389
ET - 97.65

3. 60 ft - 2.193
1/4 - 14.395
ET - 97.84

4. 60 ft - 2.198
1/4 - 14.375
ET - 98.01

5. 60 ft - 2.137
1/4 - 14.279
ET - 98.01
HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!
I got the last run of the day so it believes me to think I could have done better even considering my times were getting better w/ each run. My launch was at 1800 rpm...no spinning...no bogging. Tires----Cooper Lifeliner Touring SLE 215/50/17. Treadware on this tire is 360...the stock michelin is 300 so my $90 tires have a harded rubber compound than stock. I am incredibly proud of myself right now.

 

Your 60' times are awesome!!!

 

Ohh...by the way. I beat an old style 911 Targa. I lost to a SRT-4 by only one car...he didn't know how to drive but I don't care.

 

very, very nice! You're an entire second better than my best. Were you in D3 or gate?

 

gate shifting. I tried d5 once...got a 14.7. I also tried leaving the vsa on and got a 14.9. Never tried D3...We might go again in 2-3 weeks cause vinarnold wants to run the 04 TL. We'll see

 

nice runsssss!!! i knew u where in low 14s with your trap speeds from last time.. your 60fts where awesome, u know how to launch now, dam now i wanna go again, i know i can do better than my 14.7 and my brother wants to go again with the max, he could do better than the 14.6.. wow bro great times!!! now run vins 04 lol.. bro great job very inpressive

 

i know i could run better with cooler temps me and the maxima.. but i dont think 14.2 but bro great job

 

awesome runs. i assume the conditions were perfect.


i believe you just ran the quickest cl-s 60' EVER!

were you shifting rigt at fuel cutoff?

 

that quick 60' allowed you to run in the 14.20's. most eveyone that has run that quick has been trapping over 99mph.

again, awesome.

 

1st to 2nd I shifted at 6900rpm...then from 2nd to 3rd I shifted at 7100rpm. On my launch what I would do was hold at 1800rpm...when the light turned green just let off the brake...NO GAS...THEN ONCE THE SLIGHT CHIRP HAPPENS....then floor it. Also the last time I went I put some 101 octane fuel additive in. I actually think that hurt me. Temps of the track today was 45 degrees w/ 20% humidity...pretty close to perfect!

 

Ohh yeah...tire pressure in the front was 22psi. Thanks guys for the comments!

 

yea seems auto east coasters run fastest times with the hardest tires....aside from TYPEr atleast.


congrats

 

with a 2.183 60ft in the 04 bone stock maxima automatic that got me the 14.644 at 95.56 mph.. in the 70s and humidity in the 60s. dam now im wondering what i could run now?? dam bro 14.2ssssss hell yeah

 

wow

killer 60 foots, track must of been sticky(well it prolly the driver too )

u guys are lucky, all the tracks here are closed now, i wanna run my car in these conditions

congrats

 

yeah it sux that this is the last year for the hamptons track...they're closing for good in like 3-5 weeks for good! I guess after that it'll be nothing but e-town and attco in Jersey. As far as the track being preped properly...not really. I was spining like crazy until I learned to launch properly. I even had one run today where I literally spun thru second and got a 15.6. Again thanks for the comments guys

 

what were the conditions (temp/humidity/pressure) ?

 

Nice 60', nice times!!

Feels really good, doesn't it?

 

Temps were at 45 degrees
Humidity was approx 20%
