First trip to the track today, How'd it do?
Local 1/8th mile track had a "streetcar shootout" today so I took off from work a bit early and went. As I pulled in I realized that there were NO cars like mine anywhere, it turns out there wasn't a single import or european car . I take a quick glance at myself ( suit, tie) and realize I am about to catch some very odd looks.
Track prep was ****, I was on regular street tires but after the first pass quite a few people changed their minds about the AMG. I'll post the slips in a bit but the three passes were:
First pass, left good then blew the tires and wheel hopped after the 60ft.
1.98 sixty
8.09 1/8th
90.9 MPH
Second pass feathered the throttle all the way through first and second
1.87 sixty
7.70 1/8th
93.0 mph
Third pass
1.79 sixty
7.68 1/8th
95.3 mph
Car has 172mm pulley and Eurocharged tune.
