Cool Finally! Some friggin' track results for my V12TT

First time ever racing this car. JAYCL600 whispered in my ear a tip on to how to launch this dune buggy, which helped tremendously. Two best runs:

11.55@120 w/1.79 60'
11.57@119 w/1.80 60'


Times were about .50 faster than what I as expecting. It's not the E.T. or MPH that stunned me, it was those 60' times. I guess I should mention that I was running Conti All-Season radials at stock air pressure.


Car is bone *** stock with a Eurocharged shelf tune.

Thanks Jay. I couldn't have laid those 60's without your help. I fought your advice for a while, because it didn't compute. But wisdom finally beat out enthusiasm.

1) Fantastic track prep (props to MIR staff)

2) Mid 60's temperature

3) Overcast

4) Relatively high humidity (~80%)

5) An enthusiastic cheering section. haha

Yes
Congrats on your success!!! I'm glad you finally got to get that beast out to a track. You're beating my 60' times by about .1 sec...so maybe that little birdy with the CL600 will whisper in my ear, too!
