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.

Nice job!!! The car looks to be running pretty strong!

Those 60' times are just amazing for all season tires!!!

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

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!
