Exclamation FINALLY got to the track tonight...
got about 6 runs in tonight, 2 of them I left traction control off (and forgot) LOL so those were pretty bad times

my best of the night, and the dumb track guy forgot to change my dial-in to 12.4 so i brokeout... not setting any land speed records, but the track was pretty greasy...

FINALLY got to the track tonight...-j47bwpml.jpg

it was a blast and helmet rental was only $10

Sold - 05' E55
2.18 60' - You had to be on street tires. With that MPH, and a decent 60' you can see 12.00 's.
I know your not looking to break records, but its fun is'n it?

LOL no just couldn't get the car to launch to be honest, and felt like it was spinning halfway down the track...

DA was 793

BTW - there was a new E63 S-Type there, and he brokeout with a 12.0 dialin

Congrat! I guess you need more practice with the launch. My best 60' was 1.815 with traction control off. Tire pressure set at 25 psi.

both times I forgot to turn traction back on I spun WAY worse that in the box...

it was my first time at the track, but the car was pretty squirrelly the whole way down until the 1000' mark...

Toad, this is not relevant to your et, but you said you were upset that you "broke out", which you did, but your opponent fouled (red lit) first, so you should have moved on to the next round.

yes, I did move on - made it to the semifinals, and told the guy to mark me down to 12.4 dialin but he forgot/got busy so on my last run I ran a 12.46 as well...

You've given me the itch only problem being I might be waiting a while considering the closest drags are around 1800km away or a 2300 mile round trip...

Eh, might be time for a road trip.
