Samson Goes To The Track... *Vid*
First time to run my car at the track EVER!!!!! It's totally different then the street that's for sure. I only got 1 vid and it's off my best run. However, the launch felt/seemed nearly perfect I banged 2nd (tried since the track gripped sooooo much more) and spun soooo bad, you can see the front end lift and hear it too. I ran three times and I'm a little dissappointed in the 1/4 mile times; however my trap speeds are incredible. I just need to get the 60 foots down. You'll see my trap = 
my 1/4 time = 
and my 60s = 
Oh well, just like Trans I'm hooked. It was a blast and I'm going back soon.
R/T .444 .520 .658
60' 2.772 2.607 2.597
330 6.973 6.671 6.758
1/8 10.259 9.837 9.983
MPH 76.56 79.61 78.67
1000 13.001 12.522 12.706
1/4 15.323 14.809 15.004
MPH 96.92 99.17 97.10
2nd run is obviously my best, but way short of what it should be. I mean heck I'm almost in their elite 100mph club with a 14.8.

Link to my 14.8 run. The other guy redlighted me, pulled a 13.9 at only 95 mph. I do 14.8 at 99mph. His 60' that time was 1.855. It looked like he had on drag radials, too.
Any comments or suggestions just shoot. There's things I know and what not just didn't want to spend time typing out. So ask or whatever. Thanks to everyone for helping me out with my car.

Yea, I saw 99mph and was like "WTF!?!?! Hahaha, How'd I manage that one?" Think I could pull 13s on streets? See looking at my 60' though if I get those down it would still seem I'm in the 14s, but getting them down would I trap higher then?

Hankook HRII's. That run the launch felt perfect, but I banged 2nd just because I was curious if it would hook........it didn't. On streets, what SHOULD my 60's be? 2.2?
