Default Back from Spinworld 12.7 @ 102 :(

Orlando Speedworld heh. Pretty sad when I can't get anything better than a 1.9 60' on 24" slicks! Spinning 1st and 2nd and having 2 bad runs. First run I missed 3rd gear...twice and trapped 106 lol. My 1/8th time was a full second off from the norm whoopsie. Second pass I hit my shifts, but ran into boost cut and nose dived. Nose dived so hard the slicks hit my fenders but I still managed a 12.7 @ 102mph Frown I was shooting for a low 12 high 11 pass. I am sure the car is well capable of it.I would have liked to get another pass in with lower tire psi but someone rolled over into the wall and had a long delay. Some better traction next time and we will see.

if they are too big? why is he spinning them?

He needs to loose some weight from the SPL machine

Waiting on the vids you will see what I mean. The vids will also show the why the low trap speeds. I was spinning hard out the hole but thats just too much tire psi. They werent my slicks and wasnt sure what they would like and obviously 12psi was too much. On the 13.5 picture this..you miss a shift, hit rev limit, reach for it again, let off the throttle completely and finaly grind it in then get back on it. On the 12.7 run my car nosedived so bad it scrubbed the hell out of the tires almost like hitting your brakes very hard. It was on a good run the top end is nasty in this thing. Do the math, the 1/8 mile wasnt quite there nor the 60' but it was pulling good up top. A 102mph trap is VERY low for a 12.7

yeha, your trap speed should have been 106-107.......

13.0 @ 103

how about a 12.97 at 82 mph on street tires?
