track times
 

What kind of times have you guys been running in completely stock cars? I'm thinking about heading to the track Fri and would like some averages to compare with. Car is bone stock with under 200 miles on it. 3.73s, 19s, track pack, standard trans.

i suck at launching those stock tires.

i ran a 13.75@ 106.68 with like a 2.3 or so 60'

Should have left the traction control on!

i tried both ways, the traction control on would bog it down and with it off the wheels would spin. it was my first time at the track...ever...i hope for lots more practice when i get home!

I ran a 8.3 at 88 with a 2.0 60ft with the whole system turned off. Lends itself to be a high 12 low 13. 2013 GT. M6 3.73 car.

Hummmmm, my car feels quicker than the mph you are posting. It feels more in line with my old fox body with the 347. It ran 12.1s on motor and trapped 112 on street tires. Just using the seat of the pants feel, I'm thinking it should run low 12s on street tires.

Did your 347 have 235 tires on it? I think Danny ran a low 8 with the stock tires.

They were small tires. Danny went low 8s you say. Wonder what gears his has?

Either 3.31's or 3.73's. I can't remember what he has.

He said his first pass in the car was a 8.06 and then with sport lines and 20" DR he ran a 7.96

My car is '12 M6, 3.73, Brembo GT. The first pass ever was an 8.09. With the new engine, it's been 1.845 - 7.92/90.01 - 12.24/114.5. All passes have been with the same setup, a stock GT with Sportlines and 20" drag radials.

I'm surprised your car feels that fast to you Christian. I was worried my car wouldn't even break into the 12s, it really felt slow to me. These cars do have a nice top end charge.

I think there are a few people heading to Ennis on Friday night, why don't you bring the car out for a few passes?

I probably will. When are you heading out?

I dunno, sometime after work. I'm not planning to run unless the weather is really good. I'm planning to help a couple of folks work on their ET. My uncle is bringing out his Boss 302 LS.

Ill be at Ennis Friday

I'm going. I want to watch my little Nic go down the big boy track.

Jewmadbro wants to go with me because he has never been to the track. It would be fun to caravan down. Let me know what time you are planning and I'll make Ben get to my house in time to meet up with you.

Where are u at?

Irving

Re: track times
 

So where we. Meeting

Danny, did you need a helmet out there at Ennis running those times? I can't find my damn helmet anywhere but I want to go Friday.

Where's a good spot to meet? Never been to Ennis

It's easy to get to from the north side. Straight south on 75 to 45 straight out. I figure we can meet anywhere off of 75 in Plano/Richardson.

That works for me. I'm right by the stone briar mall

Re: track times
 

Ok so what time does it start

What time is everyone meeting up at?

6? Idk what time it opens

They didn't say anything the first two passes, but the last pass they said I could run again that night, but would need one the next time I came to the track. I think the NHRA helmet requirement is for cars running 13.99 or quicker.

Helmet, pants and close toed shoes are required if you plan to run.
Helmets can be rented from tower.

Damn forgot I had to wear pants.

Cool. I'll just do what you did and make some passes until they say something. Who knows, as rusty as I am I may not run faster than a 13.99. lol.

Yeah, I used to just take sweat pants to pull over my shorts in case anyone said anything. I'll go rent a helmet if I have to - yuck!

I don't know if I will be meeting up with yall on 75. Kinda out of the way given Friday traffic and me coming from Irving. I usually go down 35. Less cops, and less traffic when going to 20. Might just meet you down there. Do the gates open at 6?

Series: Fast Friday / NHRA Street Legal
03/22/13
Texas Motorplex
7500 W. Highway 287 Ennis, TX 75119
Time: 6:00pm.Admission: $15 to race & $10 to watch.

We can just meet at the track. No sense in you going way out of your way.


$15 bucks is cheap! Looking forward to the group event. Hopefully the track won't be crowded at all.

See yall in Ennis Friday

Lets get our race in this time!

Yeah buddy..:chewie:

Re: track times
 

Sweet what time you leaving steve

Sweet. I'll do my best to make it. I usually don't leave the shop until at least 6 and gotta go to the house to pick up the car, so I'll be there a little later.

Lmao I hope you guys run into that 12 flat new edge gt. And those CTS Vs that we saw (Beaststang and Legit) down there last time.:rofl:

I wasn't going to decide until I talked to you.
