More Results From Drag Racing :)
Went to Capitol today again and here are some results:
R/T........................ 0.594
60'......................... 2.296
330........................ 6.393
1/8........................ 9.775
MPH....................... 73.12
1000...................... 12.686
1/4........................ 15.181
MPH....................... 90.62
I'm not very satisfied with the results because I have better and wider tires on with lighter wheels. I will use an excuse of my horrible alignment, car pulls to the left very very bad! Also, track was pretty cold and warming up tires didn't do any good because warm tires didn't stick to the cold track.
I will get my camber kit and new alignment very soon and hope for better times.
I also had very high trap speeds on later runs; 91.65mph and so on. Those trap speeds with traction will bring me better times! Saw a prelude with the same tires as mine and he had 2.1secs for 60', I should have the same with alignment smile.gif
Stay tuned smile.gif

there was also some wind today!! and it was cold. still great results though. you're almost into the 14's!! now just if you could break through. i think the bore will definitely help.and you say your car isn't fast haha.
<_< I need to get some parts so you don't get so far ahead of me... with the new tires I can probably break 15.5, but I need some more performance goodies to catch ya. tongue.gif
Now I need to find that post where everyone said a mid 14 sec N/A Tib wasn't possible and laugh. laugh.gif lol.gif The bad allignment may be a good thing if you ever get to where you get massive torque steer off the line. Good practice for that craziness so you don't end up in the other lane or the wall.

That is actually a really nice time for our cars. A 300zx TT ran a 15.0 here but of course it was probably the worst run ever but hey just think if you lined up next to him when he ran that and you ran your 15.1.
Its true that our cars are not very fast at all but even if you run high 14's and people around you are way faster, it doesnt really matter its more of a race between other people and their times on this site untill you can hang with the faster cars.
Keep up the good work.

You better get some new goodies because I'm not staying in 15s for much longer man smile.gif
Bad alignment was definitely not a good thing in my case man! I don't have mad torque steer smile.gif
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I think these times are pretty good for just i/h/e...
how much do you stripped out for this run?</div>
I dropped about 100lbs for that race. Maybe a little less.

Thanks man smile.gif I think my car is not bad for a 4 cyl. And I know it has a potential and with some help of nitrous 13s should not be a problem smile.gif
