Got off too late to make it up there last night, how did you guys do? Any videos? Was Doc there? Please share any info.
There should be some video soon.. I think we had 8 or 9 cars... ETs from 10.70 to 12.60s... Dr may have run better. Times werent displayed for spepctators last night. Just going by what I heard from the guys.
Wow that's a lot of cats, thanks for the update, cant wait to see the videos.
thats me above kicking ass....ha.......im the one in the left lane figuring things out....i got no help from the crew...they knew all of us were new.....i asked how my burnout was..they said good....now that i see it its weak....also didnt know about the 2 staging lights...i figured it out after this run, but its obvious i dont know by this video, yet they dont tell me....
the other car is a M6, im a A8....i won all 4 races...this one was my worst...i think a 11.9....my best was 11.6 and that was with no tire heat up and TC on.....DR buick told me my burnouts were always not enough and thats why my times never improved by doing burnouts.....humidity/air temp was horrible last night too.....i was thrilled with 11.6 being my first run ever....i was shaking for 30 minutes + after the first race....mindblowing how much faster the track feels than the street....i couldnt see where the finish line was, so i kept going until i past the large sign...so i was probably 140-150 mph......it was fun slowing down quickly.......
Are you running all season or summer tires? Those are good times for a newbie. Motor Trend got 11.6 in the 13 14 GT500 with professional drivers.
im running Nitto 555r
Jim----did you use TC ?
did you rev the automatic before launch?
have you been to a track before?
trying to figure out how you got a better time than me with stock tires and a worse 60'(obviously its that your a better driver)----but trying to figure out the math of the 60' and how it didnt seem to matter as much as i thought it would....i would think the lower 60' would mean the best 1/4 time
you did awesome considering the weather

no issues with traction w/o traction control?
how many runs have you taken?
doesnt track- traction control remove everything?? i can see doing sport w/ no TC, but i cant see taking off all the nannies for me....too much of a p*ssy
spinning the tires is one thing....sliding into a wall because of it....naaa i dont trust myself...probably never will.....
did you do the 2 foot method? (i did for 2 of the runs, but did best with just 1 foot)
