As the title states, I would like to hear about the "real world" times from other members.  I am curious how my car stacks up with others.

Below is my first outing.

330'                  5.989              5.981
1/8 MILE          9.136              9.131

I made 11 passes that evening.
Every other pass was between 14.22-14.29 @99.04-99.84mph

About 93 degrees, pretty humid, full tank of gas, baby seat in back, spare tire still in trunk.
It was kind of a spur of the moment decision to go

Thanks for the replies.  I ran at Atlanta Dragway with my usual gear in the car and tipped the scales @ 4515 lbs.    (including driver)
I am quite pleased with the performance of my car, I need to work on my driving skill now ;D

Not bad for your first runs...need to work on the reaction time.  My tip is to smash the gas when you see the last yellow light come on, never wait to see the green.  Also, if you know anyone who has driving experience if they watch you, most will be willing to give you tips.  Hopefully you left the car in D, since it seems that yields the best times.  But still not bad for 93 degree weather.

Thx for the advise. I can use all I can get.
This  was the first time i ever actually raced at the track. Most of my other reaction times    were in the .350 range. My best was .107 I was trying to keep an eye on the revs.
It seemed to like 2000-2400 range

ROCOB  WHAT PARK of ATLANTA DO YOU LIVE IN? You know I live in ATLANTA too.

 

[mjhpadi]

Shoman, you need to meet up with these guys and give them some driving tips..I'm betting with your track experience you could impart some pretty valuable knowledge to them on achieving the best track times!

I PM ROCOB and maybe me and Airportguy770 can meet up.

Reaction time doesn't matter on your ET..unless you're actually racing. Your 60ft could probably be improved on. To correct that just barely turn on the second set of lights when staging..hold the brake bring the revs up (probably around 1800 on stock) then smash the gas on the last yellow and slip the brake

WELL I HAD TO SHOW ROCOB HOW TO USE ALL THE THINKS TOLD HIM.LOL This the 2nd or 3rd round of "13.99 and faster bracket racing" ROCOB did very good. I made it to semi-final (my 1st time bracket racing) I should have change my dial-in from 12.28sec to 12.31 because my best of the night was 12.33sec. But I did good for 1st time.
Rocob will not dance on me
bracketracing 12.33 run SHO vs LS3 CAPRICE

Congrats, not a bad first time! work on the reaction time/60'.  What EBB said, but capitalize "almost"  LOL

No track but obd2 interface kit.

Very cool guys!

No track but obd2 interface kit.

Cool!
However, I believe your trap speed is underestimated. 13.81 sec should see trap speed of about 102 mph.
For our car, here are the assumptions:
100mph = 14 sec
110mph = 13 sec
120mph = under 12 sec
So, for every mph faster, you should see ET dropping a tenth...

 

[DJE624]

Makes sense Steve.  I had 13@108.5

 

[BiGMaC]

Very cool guys!

Steve...Very cool info!  Thanks!
