Tony is that at Benson. Glad you went to the track. You should def be running 14's. Keep practicing though thanks for the video.

I just realized I think Benson is only an 1/8th mile track.

Nice Run Tho...

sweet run bro......

 
Rep Power: 281

nah, it's in Fayetteville, out by the airport. I was a little disappointed in my time, but i know it's all driver error and traction. it spins readily in 1st and 2nd, so i have a lot more practice before I can get it out of the hole a little better. my best R/T of the day was like a .690 or something, so i know i have some improvement there as well. all boils down to seat time though. i was surprised at the trap speed though

wow that looks slow on camera..

ew you need some driving lessons! lol. nice car/run though! learn to preload your tranny (preload launching) and how to feather the clutch rather than feathering the gas (will lose load on the turbo and have to spool again) with that said you should be able to pull at least a 2.0 60 ft. which will cut your time a lot. general rule is that for every .1 off your 60 foot it cuts off .2 on your ET.

Looks like you had a good time anyway Tony! We're going again on Sunday so we'll see if I can even beat my current time.

How often is that track open?

 
Rep Power: 352

but great none the less

 
Rep Power: 388

Dope that you got video up and took it out to the track.

The bad part is that it looks like you dug out in third gear.

How much are you tuned at?

 
Rep Power: 299

Your times should def be in the 14's even if you used crappy tires. the last time i ran (before the cam and upgrades) i ran a 14.5 (best) and that was on worn out street tires.
stick with it and dont over do your launch and your times will come down. try about 5k rpm at the line instead.

 
Rep Power: 267

nice vid always nice to watch,but your time is like slow, I do 15.68sec on 1/4mile
with just I/H/E...... the rest bone stock.

 
Rep Power: 281

yeah, yeah, thanks for all the comments...i know i suck at driving

sheesh...

and Clint, the track is open every weekend if it's nice. check the website for more info http://www.fayettevillemotorsportspark.com/

the wife and i are taking a trip down to GA to see the folks this weekend or I'd go again, i need the practice

 
Rep Power: 273

well next time you go let me know and i'll bring mine out and we'll see how slow i go with really nothing on my car...lol.

$20 and run all you want, ****, that's not bad Tony! I'll be paying $60 to do the same on Saturday.

 
Rep Power: 301

nice run

 
Rep Power: 281

it's run all you want, but there were a lot of cars there that day. I think i got 5 runs in the whole day and between the race cars and bikes, i had enough time in the staging lanes to let the car cool down quite a bit between runs. i don't think my oil temps got over 170 the whole day til i drove home. as far as R/T and launching, it all boils down to seat time guys. i have maybe 10 runs total in the car, 5 or so before and 5 after boost. i need practice, plain and simple.

lol on a 75 shot i hit the same 60 ft but ran a 15.3 in a 04 vp coupe

 
Rep Power: 281

I think I blew a headgasket today... she's pushing coolant back into the overflow reservoir and heating up at idle..

oh well, going TDY for six weeks tomorrow morning, I'll screw with it when I get back

 
Rep Power: 273

so you went to the track today? damn dude you shoulda told me.. my future father in law just got in to town for the weekend and loves drag racing. well holla at me bro when you get back. sorry to hear that you may have a problem.

 
Rep Power: 0

LOL! That sucks Tony, but you should have figured it would happen when you installed the ARPs and didn't replace the HG. How's you do at the track though?

 
Rep Power: 281

10.3 at 71, 1/8 mile track

no slips though so i don't know what my 60ft was, but it felt a little better...
