COuldnt get the damn slicks on my car had the wrong lug nuts. so I just made 2 street tire runs spinning stoopid crazy

 

Yeah being that dsmlink allows me to just plant the throttle, at the line and during shifting makes it alot easier. You won't hear the BOV when I'm shifting hard; the throttle body plate doesn't close because I'm not letting off the throttle so the BOV doesn't open.

Anyone down for a Bristol dragway test & tune? I'm tired of bench racing and guesstimating my 1/4 mile time and trap speed.

 

Have you tried the racing calculators I posted earlier...tciauto.com

can do 1/4 to 1/8 or 1/8 to 1/4

Now how accurate it is I dunno

 

Me too. I was sitting there thinking the whole time... "Damn, I could be out there right now."

And I was sitting on those wooden bleachers closest to the entrance the whole time.

 

Saw your car. Then I saw the regular tires and said, "Damn... He must have taken the turbo off." Haha...

 

This calculation I made up usually seems pretty spot on:

1/4 mile ET = 1/8 mile ET + (1/8 mile ET / 2) + x

FWD, x=.4
RWD, x=.5
AWD, x=.6

For street cars with street tires, obviously assuming traction.

 

I'm not sure about that. My WRX ran a best ET of 8.04 at Natural Bridge. Going by that math, my 1/4 mile ET would be mid 12's.

8.04 + 4.02 + .6 = 12.66

My car wasn't exactly slow, but I don't think it was a mid 12 second car. Low 13's maybe. I'm pretty sure it was too heavy to run in the 12's.

 

Actually, that is damn close. Low 8's is good for upper-mid 12's (in AWD).

 

Sorry I didn't have my car out there. I snapped a timing belt on Monday, put a new one on Thursday, but it had bent the exhaust valves in #6...
I was really happy to see so many fast street cars out there. I really didn't get to see any of the Q8 races though because I was down in staging the whole time..

 

sounds like it was pretty decent. I Should have come on Sat. instead of Sun.
