Samson Goes to the Track - Part II
 

So I went to the track yesterday for my 2nd time EVER, and I was pleased with the results. I edited a short vid of my best run. I ran 4 times, but the 4th I drifted past the staging lights and they didn't tell me to back up and I didn't want to go put it in reverse so the dude started the tree before I could restage, hence no 4th time slip numbers for me. I missed 3rd 2 out my first 3 runs. Think it's in, but it's not. Short shifter time for me.

Next time, call me and i'll record your runs man.

You're thizz'n 13's now :P

edit: dude you're so close to 100 mph too :l get some better tires and bring down those 60's

Re: Samson Goes to the Track - Part II
 

Nice work! What are you running for tires?

Re: Samson Goes to the Track - Part II
 

Thanks buddy. Appericate that. Ummm, some sucky tires dude no lie. They are weird hook okay no that I'm learning to drive and all, but they don't wear at all which is good; however, I figure they should ya know gripping and all. :-\ Hankook HRII's, I believe SkinnyE rocks them too.

when i posted that i was hitting 14's on here, jeff made fun of me for being slow.



if you've got some sticky tires your launches suck.

i was hitting 2.2 consistently on some shitty all seasons.

Re: Samson Goes to the Track - Part II
 

I don't understand your point in the first sentence? Anyway, 2nd time at the track and i went from best of 2.597 60 foot the first time there and yesterday best of 2.309 this time. That's good improvement and first time on the FTL on the track. What tires do you suggest then? Should I rock the all seaons instead? I run 25psi in the 205/45/16s out of suggested 45-50.

Re: Samson Goes to the Track - Part II
 

thats a simple answer, if you want your tires to be ideal for the track, run drag radials.

Re: Samson Goes to the Track - Part II
 

I want to get it on streets. For me that means more practice and prayer I guess. I don't know. My Dad doesn't know. This is new to all of us minus Jay and his crew and you all. Takes time I figure. I NOW think 14.2s is gonna be my lowest as the car sits.
