Took my car to Milan and....

**Fadi** · 08-24-2006, 12:19 AM

I only got ONE run in. I am never going there again.

60' - 1.84
330' - 5.06
1/8 - 7.65
1/8 mph - 93.40
1000' - 9.85
1000 mph -113.31
1/4 - 11.693
1/4 mph - 121

My car is stock on the stock runflats. It was 85* out when I ran and coolant temps were still right around 198*. I got a lot of wheel hop in first gear but the car was pretty planted throughout the shifts. I do not powershift, just speedshift. With a more controlled launch, I definitley think I will be getting this car to run a 11.4x-11.5x in stock trim on the stock runcraps. Man, this beast is fast.

Oh, and the trap, well, I was trapping at 126 at Stanton but it was also 65* out.

My car must be dying.

I shouldn't have lost

Larry, remember that was on the stock runflats with lots of wheel hop in 1st gear. Also, we also raced from a roll and my car was trapping at 126 back to back at Stanton..

Either way, your car gave a good fight..

Makes sense...picked up 29 at stanton and 28 at milan...so I'd say the weather would be the most logical culprit. You can find the weather and plug in and see that the density altitude difference was...or if you tell me what dates you ran and what time, I can run the #'s real quick.

I think the mph was due to the weather. Today at Milan, I was sweating, and the digital temp reader in my car was reading 85*. It was hot.

At Stanton, It was 65* and it was cool, almost cold. So, it kind of makes sense. I ran Statnon on Saturday around 10 p.m. I ran at Milan today at 4:30 p.m.

If I would have gotten a few more runs later in the day when it cooled down and had a more controlled launch today, I really think I could have gotten this thing to an 11.4x. Oh well, next time..
