well i went for my first night at the track tonight. it took a long time getting used to the ground being so much stickier than regular roads. i managed 4 runs and my best time was a 15.1 with a 2.282 60ft time. my trap was 91mph, doesnt that seem low? i was running 25 lbs in my front tires. it was sweltering hot out, and was like 100 when i first got there. it cooled off by the end of the night. not bad for my first time going though.

Nice runs. You've got an H23 right? 91 mph sounds fine to me for a 15.1

Axe my comment on the nice runs.

With favorable weather conditions, you should be in the mid/high 14s IMO.

with a 2.2 60 ft i dont understand you being in the 15's!?! with a jdm motor u should easily be in 14's with bolt ons, check your car bro

You should also be trapping mid 90's btw.

i think it was the weather that was doing it to me. it was sweltering hot and 76% humidity. everyone there was pissed because they were running about a half second more than usual, i talked to alot of people. ill get some better times when theres better weather im sure, i could really feel my car bogged from the heat.

tastyratz · 06-26-2003, 12:27 PM

forgot to mention: im still on the stock si transmission. jdmh22a, h23 tranny. i wasnt even thinking of that, that probabbly took a good part in it.

PreludeRacer023 · 06-26-2003, 04:12 PM

your tranny is killing you...on a side not i ran in this florida heat and humididty..didnt run open header, and ran on my old SI wheels and larger tires so theyre like 8 to 9 lbs heavier than my old set up..still managed a 14.3 @ almost 99...its amzing how much of a difference those "little things" make

LudedudeSi · 06-27-2003, 10:01 AM

Man i dont think the si tranny is killing you. I ran a 14.7 when i had just i/h/e with a 2.3 so its not the tranny. Im selling the lude as soon as i can find a buyer but i am really curious as to what it runs now. Thinkin about taking it to the track tonight but i doubt i will...

Fast&furiuslude · 06-27-2003, 08:57 PM

take it

tastyratz · 06-27-2003, 09:45 PM

ill be back there, and i will get better times. like i said i was seeing people lose up to 2 seconds off their time from the weather (rx7 tt).

Fast&furiuslude · 06-29-2003, 01:51 AM

ya when i see s2k's running slow as balls it makes me feel better also
