Bad shot quality, she'd never done it before..

Talk about boring, seemed like the whole thing was in slow motion.

 

lol. harsh.

 

Coming from a guy whos probably never ran

 

i think your wrong. ha.

 

Regardless, my first time and i'm a 6

"it all seemed like slow motion" ya tell that to the guy in the 5.0 running 10s ;x

 

Nope, Ive never ran before...

 

hey your passenger side headlight is out...jk

 

Damn, must of fallen out again.

 

peeps gotta practice those launches. Never seen so many cars walk off the line.

 

Quite a few of them haven't ran, or haven't ran much... the heat probably didn't help..but idk..

and damnit 03gt you aren't making my excuses easy

 

lol

 

Minor update: Got my 60s lower, and my times lower, not by a whole lot, but, I have figured out, i REALLY need some radials... it kinda went...

spin spin spin spin spin spin hook race is over.

 

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.

 

+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.

 

just go to the track more and more and hot lap the **** 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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

lol

 

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..

 

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

 

its because he only has ONE wheel spinnin get your T lock and gears installed. i drove for 10k miles before i bougth a tuner to fix my speedo, LOL.

 

Haha. I was just running my stock tune on my 4.10s and it said i was going like 70 when i was really going maybe 45.

Doesn't it make your car rack up miles quickly? Or is it tire revolutions? n00b question.

 

yeah you rack up miles faster...we have a electric speedo.

 

Yeah i figured. Why the hell would you use your stock tune for 10k miles? haha

 

because i was a broke *** airman that didnt make too much money...back in 2004 i had E-3 pay and that **** was weeezzzeeekk!

 

On a side note, how do i calculate the revs per mile on my tire? I have 275/40/17's and my tuner is set to stock value. Anyone know?
