First time at track
Friday, July 29, 2005 9:52 PM
well guys i went to the track tonight (1/8th mile) and it was my first time so let me know what you think
Reaction: .3357

330 ft: 6.79
ET @ 594 ft: 9.79
1/8 ET: 10.46
1/8 MPH:76.25


now heres the bad part of the night...i get up to run and i get into the box spin em get my tires nice and warm...get up to the line and as u see i go and get actually pretty decent launch but when i shifted to second- the canister inside my exhaust muffler literally blew out right when i shifted into second..the Bad news in that its a Borla Muffler so i am going to have to call them on monday and see what happens......
then on the way home my buddy was showen me how bad lights are on bikes (he has a Katana 750cc) and so he was like dude turn off ur lights and go to dims so i did for a quick second and i was like oh alright and then when i flipped my lights back on, my drivers side headlight didnt come on and no less than 2 seconds later the (Service-wrench light) comes on and then my light flickers back on, then off twice on the way home...id appriciate any comments and ideas (specially with my exhaust and headlight) and then what yall think bout my times- im 17 and it was my first time out there, id appriciate it..later

That trap speed is horribly off! Are you sure you copied the slip right?

By "off"...I meant that it's about 6-7 mph too high for that 1/8 time.

I was a retard, and now I'm permanently banned.

Tonight was my 2nd time out at the track with my 1998 z24, and this time I actually ran it more than once... All of my runs were within a tenth of eachother, but the best run was the 2nd run...

Reaction: .158
I1: 2.261
I2: 6.623
E.T.: 10.275
MPH: 67.227

I just ordered a few parts for the car, but those times were with everything stock, except for a drop-in K&N Filter. In two weeks, I'll go test it out with my new mods.
