you were definately running better this weekend. i think more than hooking or not hooking, getting some seat time and getting more in tune with the car was were you improved. my car ran the same horrible 60' times it has been and i still improved by lowering my e.t. almost a half a second. not sure which lane you were in, but the auto club lane has given me tons of problems on the passes ive made. ill only stage for the tower side when i go down now unless they move me.

i talked to about 20 different mustang owners this time, and each one was experiencing 60' times in the 2.2-2.4 second range. some of these cars were 16 second cars, some were 12 second cars. i find it difficult to believe ALL of them are bad drivers. something else is wrong with the track IMO.

im also ordering subframe connectors, and some other minor suspension mods to see if i can get more power planted to the pavement. if not, drag radials will be my next purchase.

SnTBakosFinest · 08-11-2008, 01:57 AM

+1 for radials..and suspension..

My first two passes I spun a little, my last pass I spun bad all the way down the track..and i was in the far lane..whichever that is..all three passes..

Really need low end power and some acceleration..

Considering my buddy with a lightly modded 02 GT was running 13s on radials with a top speed lower then mine... I'm cussing..lol..

Unfortunately my power isn't built until like 3rd gear...

But ya, the improvements are slowly coming on for me... I'm slowly becoming satisfied lol..

gears.

stanger00 · 08-11-2008, 09:09 AM

just go to the track more and more and hot lap the shit out of your car and you will figure out whats wrong real quick. i think it took me about 3-4 track trips with about 15 passes each trip to have my car down locked to run consistant 13.5's when i was N/A. i did all of this on street tires stock suspension give for pro kit springs.

Steeda97 · 08-11-2008, 09:30 AM

15 passes per trip? Geeeeze. At atco your lucky to get 3 in during the whole 5-6 hours your there.

i made all these trips to ATCO and Cecil County, LOL. trust me i know all about waiting and only getting in 1-2 passes a night at each track. i think its worth going on a saturday then trying to race on a grudge race night.

Steeda97 · 08-11-2008, 10:00 AM

I've never been to Cecil. Atco only really has street cars on tuesdays and thursdays. Sometimes only tuesdays. Cecils something like 2.5 hours away whereas Atco is only a 30 minute drive.

stanger00 · 08-11-2008, 10:04 AM

atco was about 2 hours from dover and cecil took about an hour to get too...that was my commute for each trip i took i went about 3 times a month from feb to may and october to december. racing in the summer is a waste well i thought it was for me.

one night i drove from cecil all the way to seaville to take a girl home. i tell you that was a long F'ng drive she was worth the cause though LOL jersey girls all the same.

Steeda97 · 08-11-2008, 10:16 AM

SnTBakosFinest · 08-11-2008, 10:30 AM

Gears much. I've got 4:10s and the posi waiting in my closet, I just need a tuner and master install kit..

on a good night here guys will get 5-6 passes, the two times i've been i've gotten..3 each night..

If I were n/a street tires wouldn't be a problem, but its the sudden jolt of a 75 shot that causes me to break traction... except for the last pass, where i didn't even hit nitrous because i was already breaking traction..

Steeda97 · 08-11-2008, 11:28 AM

Without spraying you were losing traction? In a 6? How hard are you leaving dude?
