video wouldn't help at this track, they don't post the times on a board (gay)

vosko 04-16-03 10:33 AM

that is weird. all of the local tracks around here (3) are decent tracks but englishtown is by far the nicest

The closest track to me is gainsville it's like an hour and a half away.

Anny good tips for launching, etc. Didnt Ito help you with your driving skills. Just trial and error the best?

slipping the clutch should net even better 60FT times.... but i just suck at it. i have been practicing but it is alot harder to do that than hold down the gas and dump the clutch ;) judge ito helped me, he basically said, YOU ARE SHIFTING WAY TOO SLOW. SHIFT FASTER. LAUNCH HARDER. etc. he yelled lots of other things to me too. those are the ones that i will never forget :D

trial and error works but its better to learn from other peoples mistakes. i drove my friend nof's FD... he couldn't do better than a 14 one day at the track. he got pissed so he left me have one run. i ran 13.6 after that he got pissed and ran a 13.6 also. encouragement also helps :)

Ito sounds like a funny guy! I need to get up the our local strip on the test and tunes days...what do you pay at your local track to run, can you run as many times as you want? Wait in line typa thing?

vosko 04-16-03 03:08 PM

$20 for time trials. usually get 3 runs... unless an act of god happens

RX7withNitrous 04-16-03 08:16 PM

that's awful gainsville is $15 bucks as many times as you can run. My friend ran 16 times in one night one time.

vosko 04-16-03 11:51 PM

i can deal with it. not as many runs = not as many broken parts lol

Barwick 04-17-03 09:29 AM

I made like 17 runs that day, and strangely enough my 2nd run was the best (although by only .004 seconds to like my twelfth run).

It's HORRIBLY inconsistent when you're running with a stock mount intercooler.. or any intercooler in general I guess..

vosko 04-17-03 10:11 AM

my car was incredibly consistent with the top mount.... i ran 13.70 then 13.74 back to back lol

Oh aren't WE special? Heh

vosko 04-17-03 02:29 PM

yes we are. neener neener :)

Barwick 04-23-03 08:44 PM

By the way, had the car weighed, 2880 lbs, so that wasn't the trick.. I need to dyno this sucker.

vosko 04-23-03 08:58 PM

did the car weigh 2880 with you in it ?

mine weighed around 3000-3050 with me in and i weigh 230 lbs :)

Barwick 04-23-03 09:42 PM

no that was without me in it.. 3080 with me and my work bag in it.
