Went to Midnite Madness @No Problem Raceway early this am.
Ran 13.976 / 14.110 / 14.217 / 14.215 / 14.249 / 14.200
w/ R/T of .266 / .258 / .197 / .275 / .320 / .216. :up:
The dew (65* & 81%) was causing problems at the 1-2 shift, as in the back end wanted to come around resulting in a .2 second loss due to having to due a steering correction.
The traction for the hook up was ok.
I put all my runs in excel including the temp/humidity. I also record my runs on a microcassette, stating which run, proposed launch technique, competitor and result.
Now down to the racing beat the following heads up;
Nissan SER
Mach I (w/ an average driver, Mach I w/ a good driver will blow me away)
Dodge 5.9 R/T PU
Civic.
The same Formula Firebird w/ an LS-1 smoked me w/ 13.142 & 13.030. Another Mach I ran a 13.73. Chevelle SS 13.256.
The MM Ran consistantly better times than 2 Mustang GT's, Saleen Mustang(based on all the cosmetic, wheel, brakes and tires mods he probably did not have any money for HP mods) and 300ZX Turbo.
10 different people came by and complimented the MM. They could not believe the times, faster than 2 of the Mustang GT's. :bows:
