This was at the track rental that Ahmad put on for us at Capitol Raceway. The car has K1 with EVO headers and is on street tires. These are not drag radials and are the same tires I run on the car daily. Hope you like.

NICE! I hate that finding a nice easy place to drag in LA is such a pain. I'm DYING to get my K2 out there...

we're you going with traction control on / off... tell me your launch method, as it was perfect.

same here.... i'm hoping our sponsors could set up a day when we can rent the fontana 1/4 track for MBWorld members.

With the turn out we had for Pasadena, this can easily be done.

I will put up atleast $100 to attend. I'm not sure how much it cost to rent the track for a day, but I know we have enough people in LA,OC, IE and SD to cover the expenses.

This run was with ESP off. I had an earlier run of 11.38 with a 1.61 60' with ESP on. The 1.61 is the best 60' I've ever ran anywhere. It's going to depend on your tires and the track. Most of the time I have ESP on. I made this run and a 1.64 60' run that day and both were my best 60's ever with ESP off.

SOLID! It looks like you set a record. I don't know other ~ K2 laying down those kind of times.

Nice work Derrick!!

Why the burn-out on street tires? I thought that made them less grippe.

Rock, they are R compound so you need to heat em' up a little to get a better bite. The pass that I ran the 11.38 my 60' was a 1.61! I couldn't believe how well it hooked up. I made for passes in the car and they were 11.38, 11.39, 11.39 and 11.42. Fikse, you have mail and thank you.

1.61 60' is amazing.

What size and type of tire are you using? Also, what psi do you run at the track?

Thanks

I'm running Toyo RA1's at 38psi. I use the same pressure at the track that I run on the street.

DJe -- Unphreaking real ET. Congrats.

We live about 1 hour away. I am in Leesburg, VA. Let me know if you want to hook up. And definitely keep me posted of the next track rental. I was sick for the last one.

Dang, that seems like too big of a burnout for street rubbers IMO.

But whatever gets you to the 1/4 mile mark the quickest! Awesome run!

haters crazy
His tires arent regular street tires. You need to do a burnout to heat em up. Seeing his car run in person is UNREAL! Its like a rocket out the hole! His numbers were very consistent too. SICKKKK car Derrick! Makes me want to pick up an E55

I can only get the RPM's up to about 11-1200 before it starts to push through the lights. Most all of my runs I was launching at 1000rpms.

Do you have LSD on your car? Great launch.

Thanks.
