Things I learned at the track this weekend..

[TopherSho]

-25 pounds of air on fronts in my car was a time-loss.  (for MY setup, others with better mods may benefit from 25 pounds)
-running with your hood popped does not help IAT2 temps at all,  but also did not affect time. (I forgot it was up, and the line up guy missed it!)
-woodburns much longer higher speed return lane help my temps DRAMATICALLY.  With a popped hood my IAT2 dropped from 160-130 every time. 
-woodburns shorter queue allowed me to line up at 130 iat2,  and launch at 140 iat2 all night.
-shutting down makes IAT2's WORSE.  with a shut down the cylinder heads no longer dissipate,  thus transferring heat to the intake and IAT2.  i hit 160iat on restart and launched at 155 to a worse time.
-launching at 3000rpm in error is scary and makes loud scary noises
-the car can go into limp mode and NOT throw a code.. after launching at 3000rpm it disengaged the trans on the second major wheel hop. coasted to the pull out. shut down and restarted and all was fine.
-Ice on the intake and IAT2 works!  (after about 35 minutes).  dropped to a IAT2 of 120f.  (double bag it for no leaks).
-people in lightly/Badly? tuned STI's get *really bent out* of shape when they see child seats driving past them and leave them behind.

HAH  I had the trans on mine due that last month.  My son was copping 'tude about the car being slow.  I did a quick brake launch @ 1500ish, the car hopped 2x and shut down.  Shifted to N and gave pedal a quick touch, got RPM so dropped back into drive and was all good again.  So you do not have to come to a stop to get that to reset every time.

Very true on the STI's, lancers, etc..

I must confess,  a little bit of poo came out.  But after NOT seeing life-blood from the PTU or RDU pouring out I was a bit more steady and juts restarted after a few minutes.

Can you figure out a way to drive with the Ice ? LOL

My goal in life....... To make STI and Mustang Millennial's cry by either seeing a SHO or Nissan Juke keep up with them or beat them.

And yeah My Juke is highly modded.
