Wow I still cant believe you can get that many runs in. I must be going to the wrong track. Maybe I will try Atco since ive never been there before. Plus I would like to get in a few back to back runs in to work on my launch. its kinda hard waiting hours between runs. Whats a good nite to go...
Good meeting you as well. Gonna have to meet up and do some more runs again. I'm also hunting for the 14.9 time. I saw your boy in the 8th gen run before I left. He ran a 13.9 with crazy 1st gear wheel spin. He needs slicks so badly.
My last run felt good. The car had nice pull up top. I guess its from the cooler air and engine temps. Hopefully I can improve my 60' time. I had some wheel spin so hopefully on a perfect run I can hit 14.9.
Ok so I made it back. Posted info in the quarter mile thread and almost forgot to update this one. So my time improved. I managed a 15.1 at 92 mph. The first 2 runs the car felt really weak up top. I believe it was due to the engine being hot. It cooled off and felt alot stronger. the air temps...
I noticed that this car does not like being hot , car felt so weak on the first 2 runs. My 3rd run had the best time launched at about 2400 rpm , stock tire pressure and spare tire removed from the vehicle. Had about 1/3 tank of gas. Race weight was 3063 with me in it. Oddly enough the car felt...
The car got about an hour to cool off. I wanted to wait a little longer to let the car cool off more , but it was getting late. Here are my slips 1st run on the left , last on the right. Car 100. Here is the video I took , its on a iphone shoved into the gps holder so its not the best.

2 runs so far , 15.7 and a 15.6. I'm soo disappointed. The car was still hot during the 2 runs. I'm going to wait until the car is cold before my last run.
My second run had what I thought was wheelslip , so I feathered the throttle a bit. Thinking about it now it might be clutch slippage. The first run wasnt too bad.
You know , I may try that out. It struggles so much up top. I can feel it struggle , surge in power then redline. Maybe I will shift right before the struggle point like you said, hopefully I dont fall below vtec on the upshift.
