Last night's times...

[TopBanana107]

Here are last night's times at Sanair Raceway in St-Pie, Quebec...

I achieved what I wanted to achieve, in 3 out of my 8 runs, and that was run below 14 seconds AND faster than 100 MPH. I say AND because I've run over 100MPH before but it was also over 14 seconds...I just wanted to achieve those 2 goals in the same run. I've posted 7 slips because in 1 run, I red-lighted.

My best time was 13.846 @ 100.94MPH. I think that is a respectable time in a heavyweight car like ours...plus a heavyweight driver like myself!

So, the only mods that I have is an aFe CAI, and Superchips...what do you guys think...decent times?

I'm car #24, FYI!

Thanks for any and all comments.

The first 2 runs were made with me trying to do the shoulder roll...I guess I took too much time, and was too cautious on not spinning the wheels...and i think that I let off the gas before going through the traps! Really! It was my first time at this track and I'm not sure if I let off too soon...but I saw a light light up after I had already let off the gas...my second run was the same thing...I think I still let off too soon.

My other runs, I let myself go until I saw those lights light up at the end of the track...and I got better times. My last run was made with my rear windows down...forgot to put them back up before going! I noticed that they were open when I was about half way down the track...because of the air turbulence created...and I put them up while going down the quarter!

All in all, i had fun...and was pleased with my sub 14 second runs.

Very nice!!! How many miles on the car? Just curious to know when I should expect my Daytona to wake up and the motor to tighten up

Don't get discouraged! I have a total of about 16000 miles on my TB, and it keeps getting better. I've been told that my car should get better until about 18000 miles! Gotta love that!

Give your car time to break in...and enjoy it for what it's for...don't get caught up in numbers this early in the game. Don't expect to run in the 13's for the quarter or mid 5s for 0-60 times either...according to my Superchips, I run to 60 in 5.78 seconds. Of course, I spin on launch so it could be better!

BTW, nice car! Are you timing your 0-60 with EVIC? If so, I've heard that they are not accurate...that's what i've heard.

Thanks man! Yeah we used the EVIC timer it's actually really cool. The first attempt my fiance was in the back looking over my shoulder so I can watch the road and the fuzz buster. First run I actually stated doing a burnout and then launch, thought it would be the only time I could do it with her in the car and not get yelled at. Anyway she said the timer did't start counting until I drop the brake and shut off at 60. Seemed pretty accurate I know it's not as accurate as the track would be, but good enough for me right now. Now I have to figure out how to get 16000 miles on it before I have to park it for winter!

Extra weight in car=slower time...ok, ok, I'm sure your fiance doesn't weigh a ton, but it still makes a small difference! Make sure that the road is really flat and try it again. What altitude are you at?
