Auto-X Fil Drag Racing? Yep! - 05/06/06 11:13 PM
1995 LX, K&N, suspension, poly rear mount. 205/55R16 Kumho MXs @ 25 psi. 3100lbs w/driver.
60' - 2.368
1/8 - 10.115 @ 70.25
1/4 - 15.720 @ 86.48
I ran 15.771 my first time ever, with a 2.344 60'. I had a bunch of 15.7xx, 15.8xx, 15.9xx runs, and a couple 16.0xx where I tried something that didn't work. I trapped 85-88.5, with no real correllation to ET. 60' times were mostly 2.34-2.37 when I nailed it, low 2.4xx when I messed up. This is supposed to be a lousy track, and people were telling me I'd have 2.2xx 60' times elsewhere, maybe even a 2.1xx. My R/Ts were mostly .0xx and .1xx, with a couple .2xx.
Thoughts: I was finishing in third. With these 25" OD tires, I run out right at the end. I had just enough time to shift at the line, so I usually let it bang once or twice. Lighter, smaller wheels/tires should be good for a better time and trap speed, thanks to the gearing and weight.
Bracket racing was cool. It wasn a W-body meet, and I beat a N/A Regal 3800 almost heads up: he got me on the line, with a .2 headstart, and I pulled him in. Unfortunetally, I'd dialed a 15.8, and pulled a 15.72. I still made it through the first two rounds, which was fun.
