Took it to the track today :(

I wish people who are talking about a drag strip would not call it a track.

A track has turns!

A strip is straight.

Thank you for your support.
 
Hi-Perf might give it a try soon. I'll keep a goal of 16.5 in mind. Obviously I'll be in the 17's at first.
 
Cool, that is actually pretty good with the corrective numbers plugged in.

Oh and btw a track is to vague of a word to use for describing either a circuit or drag. Track by definition can be a course by which something moves through. Heance the drag strip can be defined as a track.
But circuit courses kick much more arse :)
 
Throughout automotive history I have noticed that strip has been used when talking about racing in a straight line and track has been used when talking about a course with turns in it.
 
True, it is a phase that has sorta of stuck but in the end track is still a correct term.
Kinda of like how axle back exhaust has stuck even though today few cars which use them actually have a rear axle to speak off. There is lingo and then actual definations, all depends I guess on what your use to. I simply call it the drag, and call cornered course; curcuits.
 
I just had to add my $0.02 to this. I have AEM SRI, OBX Ford Probe 4-2-1 header, magna flow 2.25 high-flow cat, 2.25" piping, stock RB muffler, CF hood, and a few interior parts missing when I go to the strip and I still haven't broken into the 15's yet (sea level). While I'm deployed over the summer I'm having ZE cams and pistons installed along with a few other jobs ( P&P head, thrmo spacers, etc) so I'm hoping to be into mid to low 15's by 2005.

What's the track elevation up there? That's possibly your culprit if it's not driving skill. WHat RPM were you shifting at? I'd guess a 2.4 60' for these kind of cars it decent, huh?

EDIT: Sorry, didn't actually see how many pages there were of this stuff. I see the elevation now. That was your main problem.
