It's a little bit of a rant.
Went to the track today and I am not impressed with my car. Granted, I never been to a track before and only got one run in. Well I ran a pitifull 14.9 @ 95mph. It was my first time ever at a track. Not too bad but then you figure in my mods! my 60' time was a horrific - gulp...- 2.58. I had to let off the gas and it still wouldn't hook up. And I do have drag radials (Nitto 555) but I didnt heat them up much because I didn't want to look stupid if I did something wrong. (Never smoked the tires before) Traction at the track was horrid, I was expecting it to be better than the street. Atleast on the street I can floor it in first once I get rolling, but at the track, anything over 3/4 and I was up in smoke. I'll stick to street racing at the illegals. Track sucked IMO. 175 miles round trip to boot.
On a good note, I smoked the 350 Trans Am that raced me (15.88 @ 86) my brother ran a 15.2 @ 92 in his LT1 Caprice and his girl ran 14.6 @ 98 in here bone stock 95 automatic Z28 (2.54 60').
There were LS1's in the mid 14's
Will letting go of the gas so much affect my MPH so much? The temp was about mid 80's at Sears Point.
