[QUOTE="stang99, post: 556483, member: 191"] I don't exactly remember how many people showed up but I got lots of runs. Fri night I took four runs. That actually was too many since I did not get the car cooled down enough between runs. Sometimes I only take two or three runs. After you start getting consistent, you can usually figure out about how fast you can go without unduly beating your car. So, it is better to take it easy, do some spectating and let the car cool between runs. When I go to Chevy vs Ford, I'll get there at 4 and let the car cool until they start running at 5. Then, I'll watch a few runs to see how the track prep looks. After I scope out the track, I'll check my air pressure and go take a run. If it is in the mid to high 12's at more than 111, I'll let the car cool for quite a while since all I am working for is guaranteed every time 12's at 111+ at LACR. I'd love to have an 11 sec car that was as reliable and mild mannered as my current car, but, always going in the 12's would be very acceptable. If I have real problems launching on my first run, or, I miss a shift, I might hot lap to try to assess the car, but, I am not a big fan of the effects that hot lapping have on the '03's. Seems that they seriously heat sink fairly quickly and then I think that the ECU pulls power. You wanted to know all of this, right? [/QUOTE]
