What a fun day!!!! TOTALLY worth the $37 bucks!!!
Here are my numbers for all eleven races (keep in mind this was my first time racing!) :
TIME TRIALS:
Reaction
Time: 1/4 mile: @ MPH:
1. .689 16.243 90.11
2. .736 16.458 85.05
3. .551 16.212 86.20
4. .190 16.289 86.12
5. .301 16.387 85.68
6. .040 16.175 86.26
7. .147 16.002 86.58
8. .063 16.278 86.76
ELIMINATION ROUND:
9. .087 16.051 87.30 WIN
10. .240 16.110 86.80 WIN
11. .149 15.970 87.10 WIN
~Took trophy for best of class 16.0-16.5~
Both myself and the last car I raced went under 16 but I took the win since I had the better reaction time.
Oh yea!!! And Peter! That tip totally helped... as you can probably tell my reaction time numbers sucked at first because of the lag time of the car until i tried launching at that third yellow light before the green.... totally worked!!!
First run I beat Tom! (boomergt)- heh.... just once though....
The second time I raced Tom I had him at 1/8th due to his traction loss at the launch but then he flew by me!!! That thing is a beast once it gets traction!!!!
Im glad you got your tires stickin better though Tom! Once you get those slicks on I bet you will be twelve something!!!

YOU WON A TROPHY!!! That's pimp as hell, plus you broke into 15! Sweet...
Tom was fun to watch, he tried a lot of different launches, but ended up spinning or bogging (when he launched in 2nd)
When I was there he was running mid 15's at 108mph!!! To make sense of that, a stock STI will do 13.5 at 103mph, and last year Peter with slicks and instant traction ran 13.5 at 105 mph...So with tom hitting 108 consistantly, and I left early so who knows what he got later, that is pushing some serious power.
Tom's car wouldn't move until he was an 8th down the track. He's going back with slicks and that should help a LOT, I'd imagine if he can put power down, he'll be low 12's.

We were thinking he would break into the elevens with slicks.... by the end of yesterday he broke 14.1..... He got a lot better at that launch considering his first run was 16.6 !

Tom took his down to 20 PSI and that helped him A LOT! For some reason I got a pretty good grip off all the launches.... which I found kind of odd since I was running on Potenza 009 all season tires!

Yea, he was talking about borrowing yours to see if that helped and then buy some.... I would ask him about it- I know he wants to run again soon.
Alright guys here are my times... Sorry it took so long I have been crazy busy at work.
It was a very fun time. I am very happy with the car as is. With Slick my times should improve decently. For runs 9 and 11 I should have been in the 13s but I left off the gas a bit and coasted across the finish line so I would not breakout, but I did anyways.

Nice, so you got easy low 13's once you get some traction!
