Well me and my buddy Matt went to the track to race our cars for the first time tonight. He's got a Civic w/ GSR swap and intake, and I just have intake, clutch and flywheel on my GS. My goal was to break 15's but it didn't happen His goal was to break 14's....also didn't happen

Anyhoo, my first run:

ET 1/4 mile: 16.4803
Reaction Time: 0.8650
Trap Speed: 82.6722
60 ft: 2.4536
330 ft: 6.8846
1/8 mile: 10.6105

Our second runs we lowered our tire psi to about 30 from 40 psi or so. His best was a 15.3. Here's my second run:

ET 1/4 mile: 16.1385
Reaction Time: 1.1026
Trap Speed: 84.0080
60 ft: 2.3214
330 ft: (light was broken)
1/8 mile: 10.3368

Overall, we were pleased from the second run over the first, knowing that we can break our goals with lowering tire psi a little more and getting our 60's down to 2.2's. But after my exhaust I should have no problem getting 15's yayyyyyyy!!

By the way, on the second run I raced Scott Mohler, the East Coast All-Motor champion. He was driving his new SRT-4 and did a 14.1277 @ 102.2425 mph. I know he should have done better and he still raped me but it was cool. :thumbup:

 

Yea it wasnt to bad i dont think since we were both 1/4 mile virgins. Is a 90.8 trap about average? anyone think i could break out a high 14? I had a 2.34 60 foot time, so maybe it would be possible if i got that down into the 2.2's like mike was saying. I dunno just tell me what you think and if you think it was decent for a first timer.

 

not bad i would expect the civic to be faster. what do you guys launch at?

 

i launched at 4k and 4.5k, next time i go im just gonna launch from 5. I hope to pull in some better times and hopefully break into the 14's.

 

I launched at around 2.5 to 3k but next time I'm going to launch at around 4 and feather it more. We're also going to lower our tire psi to around 25 or so. I hope to get high 15's with more practice and with exhaust get atleast a 15.8. If I get a header in the future I'll go for a 15.5 with some more practice too.
