Sac Raceway 8/04

Well after another trip to the track this week, I have learned three things. One is that no matter how bad I am at timing the lights or launching my car my 60 ft times are insanely good. The other two things I leaned are that I need a lot of practice at launching my car and driving at the track. I do hope that the member that works in the tower did watch and will back me up on my 60 ft times, and as you can see they are very consistent. Any feedback and or tips to help would be greatly appreciated.

wait a second. 1.9 60ft ? is that what I’m seeing?
if not which one is

1.9 for a 60ft is outstanding in my book for a fwd car
thats what wrxs can do with a good launch basically.

ohh and was it test and tune or bracket racing.

just wondering because of the trap speeds

a 15.8 at 84 means you got out of the hole quick but where’s the top end? is what im wondering (just confused)

hate to break it to you but i watched every run you made tonight, and then i took a look at your car, one of the plastic splash gaurds is hanging down tripping the 60’ lights early. just about every run you made you spun pretty bad.
now please don’t get all defensive, you car is slammed (and looks good btw) but that is why you’re getting those times. take off the plastics and you’ll get your true 60’

i’ve worked there plently long enought to know what basically every car is capible of. and 1.9-1.8 60’ out of a b16 g2 running 15’s on es100’s (see i was watching :wink: ) is not possible.

hehe. jeff, remember my 2.0 60 in the red car that night cuz of my splash gard :smiley:

so then actually, this is close to a 16.0 b16 car?? :think:

ok well atleast i know how it was hapening. so does that mean that i was tripping all my times early? if not why just the 60ft? and i know i need to greatly improve my driving at the track, hopefully i will start to see improvements.

you could be, but also the air could be holding it up at speed, so who knows.

If you are tripping it early at the end, it won’t make as much of a difference as it would in the begining becauase you would be going much faster.

i was going to say 1.9 60ft… I have 2.4 60ft and run 15.6 hmm… b18a I presume?

i dont understand how the splash guard ix tripping the light early …im not saying your wrong i just dont understand lol …

The splash guard hangs down in front of the car and goes through the beam before the tire does.

so my 60 ft time then is 2.0 not 1.9? besides wouldnt the air be pushing any loose plastic towards the rear of the car? well anyway i am going to take of the loose plastic off and go make another trip to the track in a couple of weeks and then ill know what my real times are.

you 60ft is most likely closer to a 2.3

Not at only like 15 miles an hour.

oh i got it now …
