Just got back from my first quarter mile run. (I had run the 1/8th about a month ago, and this was only my second time at the track.) I made three passes.

First run: 14.2 @ 97.7
Second run: 14.02 @ 102
Last run: 13.92

For being a newb at the track, I was pretty pleased by the results. My goal was to break the 13 mark, which I did, so I was happy.

Questions? Comments? Thoughts?

 

what were the rest of your numbers?? what was your sixty and what were you trapping at the end

 

If you post all your #'s, like trip stated, we could tell you more along the lines of what needs improvement. But gettin into the 13's your first night down a 1/4 mile is pretty good. But with your mods and car, I think you could hit a 13.5.

 

Thanks 01SilverGT. I was pretty happy with myself and my car.

Allright, here are all the numbers from my timeslip:

First run:

R/T - .527
60' - 2.156
330' - 6.010
1/8 - 9.156 @ 78.44mph
1000 - 78.44
1/4 - 14.213 @ 97.34

Second Run:

R/T - -.005 (Yeah, I REALLY blew that light.)
60' - 2.196
330 - 6.050
1/8 - 9.156 @ 79.37
1000 - 11.810
1/4 - 14.013 @ 101.99

Last Run:

R/T - .773 (I was asleep at the light.)
60' - 2.203
330 - 6.012
1/8 - 9.095 @ 79.46
1000 - 11.748
1/4 - 13.952 @ 101.98

 

it must have been really hot. you should be trapping a little higher than that are you a auto or maual

 

It was scorching tonight, and humid as hell. I have a manual, to answer your question.

 

Read his sig Trip, j/k, we all miss things like that.
Your 60' times look pretty good and consistent. Your trap dont look to bad, could be a couple MPH more, but not too shabby for a first timer. Get some DR's and you might drop a couple tenths next time.

 

with a 102 trap speed you should be running a mid 13. Your car seems to have the top end power. You just need a better 60 foot.

 

damn missed the manual part of sig, still should be trapping around 105-106 with the evolution tune. the sixties arent bad on street tires esp for your first time out. what gear are you going thru the traps in. how are you shifting her?

 

I was shifting hard whenever I hit 6000 rpm, and I'd cross the line in 3rd at about 6500 rpm.
