Sam-

Haha, I did hear someone yelling Dave, but I didn't see anyone. I thought the weather was great too and traction was good (2.23-2.25 60 foots). It was about 70 degrees all night. HOWEVER, when I got home I looked up the historical weather the humidity and baropressure weren't that good. Humidity was close to 75% all night with the pressure well below 30.00. Not exactly ideal. I'm glad some other people were a bit confused about thier ET/MPHs too. I ran at Mo/Kan the week before and my car was a slug. 85 degrees, near 100% humidity, puddles in the staging lanes, and a different track netted me a best of 15.0@94mph. I was disappointed.

Do you think there's something wrong with the trap speeds in the left lane at KCIR? I'm ALWAYS 2-3 mph slower in the left even if I get the same ET in the right lane (example 14.7@93 vs 14.7@96). I ran the yellow Type R on Friday night. I was in the left lane. We got the same reaction times, I got a slightly better 60', I pulled him the whole way (ie he never closed in). I ran a 14.90@90.5 to his 15.3@92.7 ?!?!? I was pulling him the whole way! It's not possible he was over 2mph faster if I was pulling him on the far end.

I guess I'm gonna have to come out to KCIR on the 15th and make a couple runs.

Dave~

That sounds so weird about the Type R. Maybe he was still smoken the tires. smile I only notice a 1 MPH difference in the left lane than the right. The left lane though does have a bit of a dip at the light and you cant stay in one spot. You either know how to race at KCIR or you dont. just ask DemonSVT. He has got KCIR down like no other. He launches I swear at like 5K RPM's. I tried that in SilverVT's Contour and did pull a 2.3 sixty foot which isnt half bad. Oh well we will have fun this Wednesday. I plan on being there.

Yes I think there is.

BTW - both my runs last fall were in the left lane. laugh

I don't think I'll be trying any 5k clutch slips. I can't get the damn thing to hook up just slipping at 2-3k...
I'll be happy with good trap speeds the first few runs! laugh

Hey Greg, I got something for you if you want some help hooking up. Nitto 555R drags, I can bring them along and we can swap them out on the 15th. I want to see what kind of times you can pull with them.

I fear for my diff enough! eek

You first... wink laugh

If you could avoid breaking something I'd say they are worth a good 2 tenths by themselves.
