Well all of my track experiences thus far have been at our Meet and Greets. Love hangin with the fine folks from this forum but the actual track time is pretty limited. Getting only 3 runs at an event over a 7 hour period kinda stinks to say the least. Lucky me, I was invited to a track rental today at ATCO. Wow, what a difference. 15 cars with total run of the track from 1030 AM to 430 PM. I could have had 50+ runs if I wanted to. I restrained myself and did about 25 passes. Thats with a 2 hour break or so in the middle to give the ride a break. Thanks to FRI and PMT, I was able to get a new personal best of 11.58 today. Thanks to Jonzmgnm, I was able to get a 1.71 60 ft Thanks for letting me borrow your DR's buddy. Here are my two best slips. RobAGD and Leadfootluke darkened them up a bit to make it easier to read. Im car #24
Heres a vid of me beatin up on a $90,000 AMG benz. That thing was running 11.9's stock. Pretty sick. Will has a video of an 11.6 run. For all the time we had today, we didnt do much video, lol. I got some nice data logs of my A/F on motor and nitrous. The track rental allowed me to actually do things like that. I messed with several setups that I never had time to do before. I will setup a track rental in the spring. This is the way to go before you start the racing season By the way, I witnessed a stock Z06 run a 10.93 on DR's as well. 1.61 sixty foot. 9.8 second EVO A couple 10.3 vettes with 1.49 60's Stock M5 runnin 11.97's with DR's Several stock AMG benz's running in the 11's Will knows more about the cars that were there today. I'll let him chime in to give more accurate info on what kind of cars they were.
i need to find a way to get to a track day like that...get me some real practice doing some real runs...
Awesome job! It's really ticking me off as I watch snow build up, and my ranking drop down as people pass me up in areas where they can still race. I'll just do my best to surprise everyone come April. Nice runs!
i hear ya sir...my car is sitting under 5" of snow and ice...and thats cause 4" of it melted yesterday...
fly - nice run man!!!!!!! would love a chance like that so i could relearn how to race again!!! 20 years since i did it last.....you forget a few things!!! hahahaha
Ya, this was my first car that I have ever taken to the track. First time racing was in April. Been a learning experience the whole year, lol.
