I made my first 1/4 mile runs in the MM today.
Best time14.554 @95.46 with a 2.172 60' and .434 R/T! The temp was 80* and the humidity 80%. They told me at the track in the cooler weather expect a .5 - .6 improvement.
Total of 4 runs.
The first I power braked to 2,000RPM and spun all the way thru 1st and into 2nd started going sideways so I backed off and got 16.808 @93.16.
The second run I held the brake lightly with the left foot and floored it and got the best time, 14.554.
The third run I power braked to 1,200 RPM and got 14.627 @94.97.
The fourth run the guy in front of me hit the wall after missing a gear bounced off and hit the wall on the other side head on. He got knocked out but is ok.
I was on the line for 45 minutes being eaten by mosquitos the size of dragon flies. I power braked to 1,000 RPM and got 14.730 @93.91.
The name of the track is No Problem Race Way. It's 55 miles outside New Orleans in the heart of Cajun Country. Private individuals built it in the middle of a sugar cane field. It's first class with grandstand, garages, showers, concessions and a 1.8 miles road course. http://www.noproblemraceway.com/npr/. I had to dodge a raccoon sitting in the road on the way home.
Can't wait till cooler weather.
On my first run I was behind a guy in a Dodge R/T that was modded. His wife asked what I was going to run and before I could answer she looked at me and said you are going to run a 14.50 to night. Guess she knows her stuff.
