I just cant stop thinking about how i can approve myself at the track. I was thinkin alot about what you people were saying and alot of it makes sense(i.e the learning how to shift good part). I think over the winter money is going to allow me to add more stuff to my car...im defintly going to go the suspension/slick route and practice my "speed" shifting. Here are some 4 of my better track times(when i didnt miss a shift ;) ) and i was hoping that by lookin at these times if you could tell me what i can approve on. And yes...my launches were horrible
Run #1-
60 foot - 2.337 1/8 - 9.428 1/4 - 14.504 MPH - 91.71 My first run up...didnt even do a burnout cause i was afraid of stalling or hitting someone lol. shifted somewaht fast...i didnt think this was too bad of a run actually. Used 5th gear...the only time i used itRun #2-
60 foot - 2.144 1/8 - 9.162 1/4 14.171 MPH - 98.51 I was very happy with this 1:) Did a burnout for a few seconds hit all my shifts as fast and hard as i could. Although i think with slicks i could have easily have seen a 13 cause when i launch i just feathered the clutch hoping not to spin outRun #3-
60 foot - 2.271 1/8 - 10.115 1/4 - 15.447 MPH 94.03 Ok, very bad, wanted to power shift to see if i could gain anything, wound up missing third. My question is thought why is the MPH faster then run #1 but slower??Run #4 -
60 foot - 2.142 1/8 - 9.178 1/4 - 14.168 MPH - 98.93 Best time of the day. Hit all my power shifting gears. Everything happened very nicely actually.Some questions are as follows, what can i tell by those runs? What besides slicks could get me to see a high 13? How come when i didnt use 5th gear it went slower..is it better not too? If it isnt how can i change the car to accelerate faster to use 5th?(i have 3.73s now) I cant think of anything else, just got home from work... lol thanks in advance
