sac will be packed for the next couple of months because its finally nice enuff to race. Test and tune fri and sat are always packed.
infineon is always packed. ive never gotten more than 2 practice runs in on wed nights and if you loose in the first braket you go home.
Sac at least has the fun run lane...so if you loose you can go to lane 1 and keep going altho you have to wait untill the cycle thru the rest of the brackets. at sac if you get there at 4 you can usually get in at least 6 or 7 runs before the end of the night.
infineon is also NHRA rules on wed nights too....Sac lets A LOT slide even tho theyre starting to crack down on things like extended lugs for slicks and cut off for batteries in the trunk.
any modded suby should bring a helmet to either track!!!

yea, I remember when sac use to only prep the lane with like 8 second cars.............I had less grip than I did on the street.........**** was annoying..........but then again it was cheap to run so.
100 octane. There is more left in the car (Needs driver mod lol) I think I was launching way to hard, I was getting sideways out of the hole burning out so much! That made it difficult to hit 2nd just right. But I figured that was better than bogging off the line trying to time a perfect launch with little wheel spin.
I have lots of respect for drag racers.. It's way harder than it looks... Getting a perfect launch and precision shifts takes skill. If I had a lot of back to back practice runs I'm sure I could shave off a few more tenths but I'm very happy in the 12's. And it was awesome smoking an SRT4! He had a head start (bracket) but I reeled him in and passed him ftw

EDIT: Nevermind I did see your car run, I might have got your run with that srt4 on film. I gotta go back and check my camera, I'll keep you posted. (went back and checked and it was the white wrx I got on film not your car)
btw your car sounded really good
That big turbo diesel truck that ran 12.3 was insane.

Drag racing is definately harder than it seems. It's especially difficult to get the launch right at the track. The available traction is always changing due to track conditions and it's nothing like launching on the street.
Sounds like you had fun though. I need to get out to the strip once I get my car on e85

Nah my rs wasn't there, its still on jackstands cause I'm finishing up some new rear axles. Watching everyone race really made me wish my car was there.
need to take my own advice). So, 109 traps with an hour heat soaked intercooler. Although it was ~ 55 degrees out so that helped cool it down a bit probably.
