Ok today at Atco was track rental. Temp was almost 65F. I didnt break any records but I'm happy. Here are my slips.. One slip was with DR. I borrowed Dodgers63 DR so couldnt really get the burnouts quite right. So with lower DA I should trap 120+ and better E.T.

Nice job Jon! Way to represent.


65F is warm. I heard reports of 52F at the time of your run.

Nice job out there today..

What time was your run? How far is the Airport from ATCO anyhow?

Congrats on your 11 sec car. So all you have is the tune plus you ran on DR right? if that is all then that is an achievement..

Goni C63

hey john.. nice runs today! it was great meeting you. im gonna try to come out to long island one day

Jons95c36amg

I ran around the warmest time-64F.

Jons95c36amg

Nice meeting you too! So you were impressed with my 119trap huh? Nothing but tune.

dodger63

I'll say it again good job!! But do everyone a favor and stop making excuses and get out there and do the work to get the numbers. Watch people.. See how they do things.. Proper burnout, staging, driving in s instead of pretending you are faster and can figure out how to shift better then the cars ecu that's taking more than looking at a wrong tach into consideration!! There will be 2 more rentals at least so get yourself a pair of drags an open mind and do some work!

dodger63

The time on the slip is 1 hour Fast if you look at propains da chart @ 12:33 it's about 1/2 way between 11:54 & 12:54 it was prob 63* and that's the same temp I ran my best time ever which is about 2hrs later to the minute mine was 2:32

Nice work Jon. Was the 119 on street tires or DRs and what was your 60' on that run?

propain

2.057

Looks like street. Its on his slip up top.

Honestly today was ideal conditions can't ask for much better than 65 degrees for good traction.

If I can get my car set up by this weekend, I will be running in 40 degree temps; sucks for traction, great for traps. We'll see.

propain

40 is perfect for DR's

Streets... bleh...

mthis

congrats Jon, 119 trap time with 2.0 60foot is awesome good luck getting your 120 and 11.5 at the sametime

themyst

well I got ET streets. we'll see.

RStevens63

Doh thanks!

2.057 = Spin = Higher Trap and higher 12.1 ET. Knocking ET down and picking up trap speed is a tall order, though more rentals mean more chances. Keep it up!

dodger63

Today was a good day! There were zero traction issues.. I'm honestly going to try to run on streets I think they trap better?? Trickier to launch but better results!!!!

mthis

well you have no record to beat but your own so you can do that.

First, congrats on your runs.... I'm sure you'll continue to get better

Second, notice that Mike ran almost identical times in the -296 DA conditions as he did today in the +90 conditions you mentioned. In fact, he ran better ET in +90 DA and almost matched his highest trap speed. This suggests that the difference in conditions was very similar between the two days and/or the difference did not affect times significantly as Mike did NOT change anything on his car. Applying this to ReilghC63's car, I would think he would have run very similar times as he did at MIR.

Third, if you look at oldgixxer's old run.... you will see that he actually pulled a better 60' time on stock continental tires (terrible in terms of traction) than your 60' on drag radials! I know you still think you can beat his stock time but in my opinion, had he been there today, I think he would've edged out the C63 a little.

40 is generally too cold; 50 is recommended.

Ok it's time for me to ring the bell on this since I have sat idle for a while.

You had some great runs and you do have a fast tune only car. No questions. However the DA that was posted on dragtimes was actually not accurate. The DA on my 11.64 run was actually -192 DA according to www.smokemup.com. The DA calc on dragtimes isn't accurate and this is what I was using.

Below are the corrected and uncorrected times of both our Tune Only cars.

Jons95c36amg
Un-Corrected ET:
11.935 (sec) @ 118.56 (MPH)
Corrected ET to Sea Level:
11.908 (sec) @ 118.837 (MPH)

Raleighc63
Un-Corrected ET:
11.64 (sec) @ 120.18 (MPH)
Corrected ET to Sea Level:
11.664 (sec) @ 119.931 (MPH)

** With DR's when you don't spin (and you normally don't spin on DRs in these cars with tune only) trap goes down when ET goes down.
