That's cause launching autos is easy. I beat just about every car off the line. Whether or not I stay in front is another story.

 

I'm still going unless weather.com forecasts showers or rain for the evening. I should be there by about 4:30-ish. I'm staying for the time runs only, not for eliminations later in the evening.

For those who are going to make runs, be sure to bring a ball point pen to fill out the tech card, otherwise it can be a bit of a wait for other drag racers to get done filling out their cards.

Cost is the same no matter how many runs are made.

I can't stay late because I have to wake up early the next morning for work.

How many are going to show up today if it doesnt rain??

 

I will probably be there.

 

I'll be there.

 

hope to See everyone out there

 

That was a nice get-together tonight with our local guys and gals.

At least I got one decent run. Missed a shift on my second and final run but my car is running well and I'm satisfied.

I get home to a phone message stating that my 07:00 physical therapy appointment is cancelled again because she's still serving on a jury. Drat, I could've stayed longer tonight...

I'll see you all on Saturday.

It was good to have you out I ran a 14.4 on my second!!! See you sat.

 

That's another huge amount of improvement. Judging by your trap speed, there may be a little more there. It depends how much you want to beat the crap outta your car.

I was rather surprised by how well my car ran (though only a tad disappointed in my own skill- I was about where I expected to be). First run, I was way slow off the line, missed 2 shifts, and managed a 15.5. Second run was still slow out of the gate, but I shifted cleanly and managed a 15.4. So, for eliminations, I dialed it at 15.3, because I figured that was being a bit conservative still. Nope. Even with a decrepit 2.01 60 foot time, I managed a 15.27@87. I am convinced that my RS, with all of headers, catback, and intake for mods, can run 14.9@90 with a 1.8 60 foot time.

 

Congrats! I was surprised to hear how well you did on even the first run, taking into account no turbo and no drag strip experience. I forgot to mention that when my WRX was unmodded, my best run was... 15.2 at 89 mph. I wonder if your RS is typical of others with similar mods, or maybe you got a really good 'Monday' car?

Well, as I just found out yesterday when trying to use DeltaDash on my car, I apparently have a very rare ECU. It's not even supported by DeltaDash yet. Maybe it's just a little more aggressive than some others.
