Bad Day at the track ..... Suggestions?
Friday, May 06, 2005 8:43 AM
Ok my first time to the track this season and I was hoping to pick up right were I left off and work to improve but my best time was three tenths off the pace

I noticed alot more wheel hop this time and while trying to compensate the times only got worse --- anyone with a J especially with nitrous feel free to give me some suggestions --

R/T - .797 .579 .755
60' - 2.295 2.321 2.393
330 - 6.181 6.271 6.353
1/8 - 9.289 9.389 9.463
mph 79.66 80.39 79.87
1000 - 1.996 12.079 12.160
1/4 - 14.269 14.317 14.413
mph - 98.73 100.11 99.64

thats only three i have 13 runs -- my best 60 ft was a 2.10 but the bottle was really low by then and I pulled a 14.6

It was humid and rainy all day and I think the track might have been a little moist - I do not think the times are aweful but i was diapointed considering i did better last season -- let me know what you think

I would put it as a bad track day. If it rained the same day you ran, then the track would not have been prime. I was always told you want it to rain about 2 days before you go for a prime track.

No problem man. If your 60 ft wasnt good, thats why your time sucked. Of course you know this. Track was bad (not good, hot and sticky) and you wheelhopped (SPUN) and didnt launch fast as usual.

No problems!! Just bad day at the track like you said

SUGGESTIONS: Go back when the track is better!!

I went to the track last year when I first got the nitrous and ran a 13.9 at 99 mph --- this time i got the bottle pressure a little higher --- but I had not been to the track in a while
