this weekend


alright i was at LACR in palmdale which is very high elevation and for my first time in the drag with the mercedes i thought i did pretty good at the end, just sucked in the beg cause of my launches

times in order

15.001
14.9
14.6
14.9
14.2 where i finnally got the hang of launching
14.189
14.12

im sure if i go back i'll be in the 13's its jsut that it was a really high elevation area in case your unfimiliar with palmdale so you gotta give me slack on that

Chappy

Did you run with traction control on or off?

BTW, what is the altitude at LACR?

Thanks for the info, Improviz. Good to have re: elevation, etc.

EMIL, what was ambient temperature when you ran?

Chappy

So, the best is about 13.66 at sea level....is that right?

AMIL

not sure how to calculate it but from what i heard 13.66 sounds about right, my friends m3's best record at that track is a 14 flat


and chappy its A-M-I-L not EMIL but heh its cool

for my first run i left traction on and just stopped on the gas got a 60ft with 2.99 heh (thats horrible) thats why i got 15 seconds

so i left traction off the rest of the runs and i finnally noticed if i feather the throttle for about 10 ft thats gonna approve my 60ft big time beacuse i was getting a lot of wheelspin also oh and just so you guys know i have 265's in the back

Chappy

Sorry about that

When did you put 265s in back? Are they on the stock rims?
