Went to Rock Falls, WI (About a 2 hour drive from me but it's the closest track) with my 18 year old son. The trip was his birthday present so I let him do most of the runs during the day. DA was about 1850 ft. although the temps were only in the mid 70's. Ran the car right after we got it there and got my personal best of 12.89. Ignore my reaction time...it's embarrassingly slow but it was my first time. At this track it seems like you can launch when the last yellow/amber light actually comes on not off LOL. Track prep was apparently pretty bad as everyone was complaining about 2.0+ 60 ft. times.
Raced a Challenger that was trailered in and it only went 13.3...beat a 6.0 GTO (Beautiful car...). Best he did all day was a 13.1 but most of his runs were more like 13.5 due to traction. Several new mustang GTs were there (well not the 2015s...) and they were all running low 13's.
The GT 500 and a Z06 vette were both running in the 11's (gotta love that supercharger whine! I miss it from my GTP)
I did line up against a full on race fox body Mustang that ran a 10.2...that was actually fun to watch!
My son had a blast and ran a best of 13.01...he wanted a 12.xx so badly but he just couldn't get the launch figured out right and consistently got 2.x 60' times. We lowered pressures, raised pressures, had him vary his launch RPM but no dice. I think I got him officially hooked though. He did "destroy" (his words) a 335i quite easily. Will post a slip next!!
Got a lot of compliments and a couple of "what the heck are you driving" comments (it's debadged).
