Hey guys. Last night was the last night at New England Dragway. So I figured I would go! I've not dynoed my car, or ran it at the track since I built it last winter. I've only been driving it around, taking group drives, etc.But upon finding out it was the last night at NED, I went. I totally surprised myself..First run:R/T .73660' 2.3251/8th 9.220MPH 83.87 (at the eighth)1000' 11.7031/4 13.744MPH 111.01
Now that may not sound all that great. But surprised the **** out of myself! I was shooting to at least break into the 14's... Maybe high 14's.. But upon completing that run, I was forced to put on my 'illegal' helmet. (the sticker fell/came out) Running 13.999 or faster..Next few runs were ok. Hard to get traction on street tires.. 225/45/17 Bridgestone Fuzion HRi's. 2nd run was a 15.000 flat because I went from 2nd, to 5th.. lol3rd was a 13.805 at 107.24 mph...
Now my 4th run.. I was put up against an 800+ HP Monster 'Cuda that was running 8's all day on slicks. He was forced to put on Drag Radials for street night, but I was scared. This thing sounded like a freaking JET! But running next to him I had to step it up. Concentrated, got a good launch... came up with this.R/T .59560' 1.9491/8 8.288MPH 86.881000' 10.6801/4 12.673MPH 113.23
I about SHAT myself.. I didn't think she had it in her! But runs after that were 'decent'. Got a feel for the track. 5th run was a 12.766 at 110.296th run was a 12.894 at 111.637th run was a 13.881 at 110.09 This run sucked. I popped out of 1st gear at launch because of the crappy wheel hop... JAmmed it back into 1st, and then finished the run.8th run was a 12.760 at 111.57
So all in all, I thought I did pretty good. Never actually 'ran' at a track before. I normally just beat the beans out of my car at drift events.. Nice to know some numbers now. I would really like to see if I could calculate some HP numbers from all this..
