So I went up to Bremerton Raceway today, and ran the G. There was a G37 coupe there as well, and he was consistantly .5 second faster.

I red lighted three times.

I tried running with the VDC on, just to see if it helped, and that was a joke.

I usually run my tires at 42psi, and after 6 runs, I dropped them down to 35psi. It made about .1 of a second difference consistantly.

It was 59º out, 90% humidity, and mostly cloudy. The left lane had a lot more traction than the right. The best part about my fastest run, was that I beat a 1997 30th anniversary edition Z28 Camaro. Made me feel great when the owner came over to ask me about my car.

My best time was a 14.454 @ 97.44 MPH.

I am number 2464, (left lane) the Camaro was 2615 (right lane).

The question is, did you have fun?

With some work you should be able to get that 60' time down for a better time

Bro, I had a freaking BLAST!!! There is little that makes me happier than lining up to race, even if I'm only pulling 14's.

You should have went lower on the street tires. We run 20-25psi in the rear tires, He cuts 2.0 60's in his trans am.

On my Et streets I run 12PSI. Tire pressure is tricky.

As long as you had fun :} the times don't really matter.

I wanted to, but didn't want to have to mess with bumming air from someone.
