Went to Farmington dragway in statesville yesterday, it's an 1/8 mile strip. I'll try to give you guys as much info as possible.
Mods to my 95 GT:
3.73's, autotragic, stiff saleen springs, k&n, flowmasters, o/r h pipe, 275/40-17 bfg kdws's in the back, everything else stock, with 43k miles, and possibly a dying 02 sensor(s).
I messed up though, and didn't empty my car before I left, and didn't want to leave my stuff layng around at the track, for fear of it being stolen. I left the spare, jack, bag of tools/cleaning supplies ~40lbs, and other random **** that was probably another 30 or 40 lbs. I weigh 160 lbs if that helps.
it was 45* out, cloudy all day, expecting rain.
My best timeslip:
reaction: .813
60': 2.238
330': 6.664
1/8 ET: 10.372
MPH: 67.008
This was my fourth run, out of 16. My car didn't get enough cool down later on in the day, with my average being about 10.500 at just under 67 mph. That was one of my worst reaction times, I was treeing all the other street cars there like hell. That was my best 60' of the day, I couldn't get traction at all, no matter how I launched. I've gotten better traction on the street.
If anybody could analyze all these factors, and tell me what I did wrong, and how much all that weight is affecting me, I'd really appreciate it.. Thanks guys!
