1/8 track time dipping in the 8's
Thursday, August 04, 2005 7:14 PM
I finally decided to run at the track with a group of friends. It was a humid day @ 90 degrees. It was a short notice so i was running my 225/40/18 street tires.

1st run @ 12 psi (best run of the night)

+.3299 reaction
2.2492 60 ft
6.0051 330ft
8.9391 1/8 ET
85.05 1/8 MPH

I turned the boost up a pound each for the next 3 runs and it was getting worse. I could only lauch at 2,500 due to wheel hop and street tires not hooking up. when the boost was at 15, grabbed 2nd real hard and just spun them. Next run I eased into 2nd and when it spooled up, I turned them over for about 30ft. There was dodge stealth TT running 8.8@ 75 mph so i know if i can hook up, I'll be running low 8's very easily.

I just ran a 8.617 @ 85.55 mph with a 2.04 60 foot.

8's are fun, I see 8.30's in my very near future.
How is the motor by the way. I am still at 12 psi.

BTW, when I ran a 13.47 which was about a 8.89 1/8th mile I trapped 88.08mph.
Tonight I did a 8.774 @84.15
8.72@85.19
8.625@84.56

8.617@85.55

This sport is all about traction anyways but if you wanna see the 60 foots drop slap on a good tire cause the MPH is there for a damn near 7.9.
