Welp, I went to the track today and made 2 runs. I couldn't stay long cause me and my girl had alot of stuff to do before it got too late.
Welp, being my first time to the track to run, I had no freakin clue what I was doing and felt like a complete retard. After circling 2 times, I realized I had to go to these 2 guys standing on the side to allow them to do an inspection and get my car's tracking #. After that I got in line and was up to the line in like 2 minutes with no idea what to do. I pull up and the guy next to the start line was like "Dude, you don't got slicks on, you can't drive through the water like that", so I said sorry and figured it was no big deal. Damn was I wrong! I did a mad burn out through 1st and 2nd gear tires all lit up before I even realized I was like not even moving and ended up with a 17.something run. I was so embaressed!!! Second time up, I knew now not to go through the water and had a chance to let the car down for about 20 minutes.
Since I promised my girl we'd leave after this run, I was really hoping for a decent run and not another major screw-up like the first (which I don't count).
I pull up and bring the revs to 2500 RPM. At soon as I see the green, I drop the hammer! I think I did great for my first real run! The car is completely stock and I still even had the spare and tools in the trunk. However, the suspension or axle I'm guessing has a major problem were it pulls to the right and has a bad jerking, even after getting a full alignment today before the track. The temperature was right around low to mid 70 degrees on both runs.
My times are as follows :
Reaction : 0.743
I1 : 2.474
I2 : 6.271
I3 : 9.424
I3 (MPH) : 78.527
I4 : 0.0 (What is this?, the other guy had a time, but I didn't)
E.T. : 14.363
MPH : 100.103
What are those I1, I2, I3, and I4 times? I'm guessing I3 is 1/8th time, right?
I was racing a Honda Del-Sol, the guy was hella kewl. But he got smoked with a clock time of 16.702 @ 81.529.
So did I do good? I'm sure I can do much better with practice though. I wanna really run again, but first I need to get this damn steering shaking problem fixed.
