Alright had my first track day, results are in
I did not do too well I think compared to the rest of you guys, the track was only a 1/8 mile track. Had the ESP off, did burn my tires prior to each launc, had the car in S mode. My best time was(but most were very similar):
Reac .2016
60 2.06
330 5.55
1/8 8.37
MPH 87.94
Did not have the car in dyno mode b/c forgot to read the post prior to leaving, temp was about 60 outside. On the plus side I did do 4 runs and beat every car I went up against including my friends E55. The other cars were an Audi A4T(smoked him), an older model 5.0 GT, won by .6755, and a camaro(older model) won by 1.2s. It was fun, and now off to Houston Raceway Park next week where I can do 1/4 mile runs.
You guys are a bad influence, I may have gotten the bug.

This is a very respectable time...
Car is making some good power.
My best 1/8th is 8.22
The very best is 8.000
lower your 60ft and your right there.In the CLS 88.5 is the best 1/8th mile trap.....Lets look at Mathmiks run hold
ok he hit 89.5 mph, wow he also had an 8.14 1/8th wow.
Your run is definately worthy of notice!
DID YOU say you BEAT AN E55?

When I started I pretty much just floored it, should I put the car in Manual mode and try to shift on my own? The guys at the track told me to multiply the 1/8 time by 1.57. That would put my 1/4 at 13.1-13.2. I thought I should run a high 12, is it because our cars pick up speed on the high end so that calculation is off a bit? Also the E55 was a friend of mine, he had a poor RT but I had him beat on the rest of the numbers again. His RT was .6, but he could not gain any ground on me, I was suprised myself, he is a tiny guy as well and I am 6'1 190. I did take my spare tire out but had a little under 3/4 tank gas. Never checked my tire pressure. WIll do next time.

Here ya go.
Your 1/4 mile would definately have been under 13 sec, you would trap at 112 or better. This 1/8th is good for a 12.8 @ 112 and your car is doing exactly what it should. about 415hp to the wheel and 514 crank hp. This is an hp estimate based on your 1/8th trap speed.
Your going to love the track you go to next!! I expect some super fast times . LOL
Try to roll into throttle and definately try dyno mode
watch my video on you tube, look up juicee55,
great job
