higher the elevation the thinner the air. . . the slower you run

Closest strip is actually at 2200 ft
What you think the difference would be?

RE: Track times & Time Slips

i would say not to be disappointed with a high 13 or so. . . any better and you should be pleased. . .

RE: Track times & Time Slips
Here is a link to my first run ever in this car: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T51Gd2eFkYc. The weather was crappy and there wasnt much track prep so all of the times were slow. The best I could get out was a 13.65 (that was on stock tires without udp). I also had, and still do,a problemshifting into 4th too soon (its an auto and you can hear it bog down). I think myonly hope to fix thatis some 3.73s. Last weekend hotter, but better weather, better rubber and the udps I ran a 13.5**.

The track is here in Stockholm, Sweden (Tullinge Raceway), really don't know what elevation it is, but I'm not guessing it's that high, since all of Stockholm is by the water!
Tullinge is known as a track with very good grip!
I run on 95 octane here aswell, since that's our "standard" fuel here!

What track and what were the conditions:
Elevation?
Temperature?
Humidity?
Wind?
Based on the fact you were 100% stock and had a full tank of gas
plus some additional weight in the car a
13.9 @ 100.1 isn't too bad, especially in the heat of summer.
I'd venture to say too, that your track is not at sea level either, since
few are.
Nice run for the first time during summer.

RE: Track times & Time Slips
I ran my car at the track for the first time yesterday at Bradenton Motor speedway in FL. I ran a best 1/4 mile of 13.838 @102.34 mph. I was happy with that time. I think I could have gone a lil bit faster but it was good for how hot it was outside.
