another couple of 12.72s...

[MotoXracer21]

Well after the 3.5 hour long drive to get to sac (stupid memorial day traffic) I walked out with two 12.72s.... For some reason I coudnt get my 60fts down at all, they were a bunch of 2.1s....
I know the track is faster though, because I hit 115mph at the end. Oh well, it was still fun to get like 8 runs in, including time to let the car chill for awhile. 115mph means a lot of potential, I only wish I had some DRS!

Another couple of 13.7's .. oh wait no .. 14.0's .. I was semi-disappointed with Sac .. All the "3 to 2 tenths faster" business didn't apply to me. Never got close to my 13.7 which I ran at Infineon.

However, like moto, I blew my previous best mph out of the water .. ran a 14.0 @ 107 mph .. previous best mph was a 104.5 I think. I never dipped below 2.35 in my 60's .. a bunch of 2.4-2.5's

It was nice to get a bunch more runs in than usual.. minus the fact that they didn't get any better. I counted 8 slips in my pocket, might have left 1 or 2 in the car .

Don't pull your hair out trying to go fast on the stock tires. Get yourself some DR's or ET Streets. I have a set of 17" ET Streets in Larry's storage that you can borrow if you want.

If you drop the hammer at 6 grand you'll probably break something, but I got them so I could leave at a reasonable rate without wheelhop so I wouldn't break a half shaft or break my diff. The one pass I made on my F1s it started hopping right about the 60' mark and no amount of pedaling got me traction out to the top of 3rd gear. It was hop in 1st, short shift 2nd and hop hop pedal pedal, 3rd hop pedal hop pedal. No wheelhop at all with the ET Streets. They are still new, so the traction isn't where they should be, but a few more good burnouts and they should be OK. On the last pass, the last time I went, I left at idle and got a 1.9 60'. Not great, but I didn't break anything and no hop.

Sure, no problem. That way you can discover what traction will do. :-D Just let me know well ahead of time so I can arrange to get them out of storage. And BTW, they are not like DR's where you can put them on at home and drive to the track. You have to put them on when you get there. These are basically slicks with a couple of tiny grooves in the tread to make them DOT legal. You really don't want to be making turns with these.

So that means I have to put the jack back in my car??? But all that weight!!
haha:burnout:

 

[03DOHC]

You take the jack out before you run and chain it up with your the other tires so no one takes them.

 

[MotoXracer21]

perfect! Sounds like a plan:thumbsup:
