Track day a few sundays ago...w/videos

[One Crazy Max]

so a few sundays ago i headed down to englishtown to test my times again. it was street wars 3 and they only let the first 500 racers race, and when i got there around 1130 there were only 7 tech cards left, so i got lucky. the messed up part about it tho was that there was no helmets left to rent out, so i didnt even get to run in the time trails, but i did get to run in the brackets, which i got lucky on because i got someone to lend me their helmet. i won the first round because the guy next to me broke his time so he automatically was eliminated. that run was pretty bad for me. i dialed in at 14.5 and here are the results.

DIAL 14.50R/T .23760' 2.531330' 6.508 1/8 9.648MPH 49.411000' 12.6611/4 15.652MPH 71.64

so i know i said that i would beat my time next time that i go to the track, but i messed up this run when i was switching from 3rd gear, i mistaked and went into 2nd for a split second and clutched out, and let the car roll through the traps. i was lucky enough to move on to the next round because my opponent beat his dial-in time. so i let the car cool off a little bit, and got ready for my second run. this time since i saw that i wasnt at all close to my last dial-in time, i re-did it and dialed in at 14.6. not much of a difference but i wanted to be sure that i would move on to the next round. heres the results from my second and final run.

DIAL 14.60R/T .88660' 2.205330 6.0761/8 9.221MPH 79.041000 11.9391/4 14.511 MPH 82.47

SEE ANYTHING WRONG HERE??

well if you dont see whats wrong, i will tell you. i nailed the launch, and shifted perfect every single gear from 1-4th gear. but heres where the problem happened, before i started the run my cars gas tank was on E, and i felt that i didnt need more gas in there to keep race weight down so i didnt add any. so i started the race fine, from 1st gear all the way until i started 4th gear. when i hit 4th gear, my car started decelerating even though my foot was all the way down on the gas. reason for that was the computer saw that i was demanding the fuel, but the fuel wasnt there to give me so, it started to cut the power and didnt let me go faster. so i let off the gas and coasted through the traps once again.

it really sucked because i was listening to the radio as i was racing, and they broadcast the race on there, and the guy said that my opponent took the victory, and i was like "wtf, hold on, i crossed first". i actually thought that i didnt beat my time, but when i got my timeslip i was surprised that i hit the 14.5. i shouldve never changed my dial in time, i would have moved on to the next round.

if my car didnt cut the power, im pretty positive that i wouldve at least ran a 14.1-14.2. the temperature was right at a very chilly 40 degrees with no humidity at all. i also took my filter out to have more air flow, and it worked. i shifted the car really fast, and if you watch the video that i will upload later you can see how fast i shifted it, i didnt let the RPM's drop at all.

so what do you guys and gyals think about that.

i wont mod my car till after i get my car on the track again, which will be in april, so i will try to beat my 14.5 then. oh and this time i actually beat C&D and MT times so i have bragging rights =]

btw i compared my timeslip to another guy on NissanClub.com, who currently holds the fastest 1/4 mile time for a stock 07 altima, and i shouldve came extremely close to his time if i didnt run out of gas. just look at the 1000' time, and you can tell. i couldve also hit at least a 98-99 traps speed as well...my trap speed doesnt show anything, its bogus.

i know exactly how you feel, same thing happened to me a few times when i raced my friend's SRT-4. but i have CVT and i didn't get that problem till i hit 100 MPH and that was already pretty fast so it wasn't too bad. if i have ANYTHING under 1/4 tank the car will let off at 100 MPH even if i have my foot all the way on the gas. it even happened to me 1 time when i had exactly 1/4 tank. so the moral of the story, go to the track with 1/2 tank

actually i was running in the bracket racing events so the civic actually had the advantage due to DIAL in times. i dialed in at 14.6, and he dialed in a 14.7 so he got the .1 second headstart on me, and my reaction time didnt help either, which is why it mightve seemed like he took me off the launch, but my 60ft time was at least .1 faster than his.

i dont even know what that car is running, but it didnt seem to be that fast. what i did see though was that it was gutted out, and i think fully tuned suspension. btw he didnt stay with me for too long, after i got into 2nd it was over for him.

nuttin much is going on here. ive been off and on forums for some time now, theres nothing really happening yet with my car that needs to be discussed, so i really dont spend time on the forums now. i didnt try putting the 3rd gen RSB on my car yet, but as soon as i attempt it i will definately let you know so you can post it in your thread.
