track times

[thehead]

What kind of times have you guys been running in completely stock cars? I'm thinking about heading to the track Fri and would like some averages to compare with. Car is bone stock with under 200 miles on it. 3.73s, 19s, track pack, standard trans.

[pohnjarker]

i suck at launching those stock tires.

i ran a 13.75@ 106.68 with like a 2.3 or so 60'

[Luke]

Should have left the traction control on!

[pohnjarker]

Should have left the traction control on!

i tried both ways, the traction control on would bog it down and with it off the wheels would spin. it was my first time at the track...ever...i hope for lots more practice when i get home!

[JDBishopArts]

I ran a 8.3 at 88 with a 2.0 60ft with the whole system turned off. Lends itself to be a high 12 low 13. 2013 GT. M6 3.73 car.

[thehead]

Hummmmm, my car feels quicker than the mph you are posting. It feels more in line with my old fox body with the 347. It ran 12.1s on motor and trapped 112 on street tires. Just using the seat of the pants feel, I'm thinking it should run low 12s on street tires.

[BLK2012GT]

Did your 347 have 235 tires on it? I think Danny ran a low 8 with the stock tires.

[thehead]

They were small tires. Danny went low 8s you say. Wonder what gears his has?

[BLK2012GT]

Either 3.31's or 3.73's. I can't remember what he has.

[BLK2012GT]

He said his first pass in the car was a 8.06 and then with sport lines and 20" DR he ran a 7.96

[46Tbird]

My car is '12 M6, 3.73, Brembo GT. The first pass ever was an 8.09. With the new engine, it's been 1.845 - 7.92/90.01 - 12.24/114.5. All passes have been with the same setup, a stock GT with Sportlines and 20" drag radials.

I'm surprised your car feels that fast to you Christian. I was worried my car wouldn't even break into the 12s, it really felt slow to me. These cars do have a nice top end charge.

I think there are a few people heading to Ennis on Friday night, why don't you bring the car out for a few passes?

[thehead]

I probably will. When are you heading out?

[46Tbird]

I dunno, sometime after work. I'm not planning to run unless the weather is really good. I'm planning to help a couple of folks work on their ET. My uncle is bringing out his Boss 302 LS.

[Midnight11]

Ill be at Ennis Friday

[BLK2012GT]

I'm going. I want to watch my little Nic go down the big boy track.

[thehead]

Jewmadbro wants to go with me because he has never been to the track. It would be fun to caravan down. Let me know what time you are planning and I'll make Ben get to my house in time to meet up with you.

[Midnight11]

Where are u at?

[thehead]

Irving

[03MachMe]

So where we. Meeting

[Grandpa]

Danny, did you need a helmet out there at Ennis running those times? I can't find my damn helmet anywhere but I want to go Friday.

[Midnight11]

So where we. Meeting

Where's a good spot to meet? Never been to Ennis

[Grandpa]

Where's a good spot to meet? Never been to Ennis

It's easy to get to from the north side. Straight south on 75 to 45 straight out. I figure we can meet anywhere off of 75 in Plano/Richardson.

[Midnight11]

That works for me. I'm right by the stone briar mall

[03MachMe]

Ok so what time does it start

[BLK2012GT]

What time is everyone meeting up at?

[Midnight11]

6? Idk what time it opens

[46Tbird]

Danny, did you need a helmet out there at Ennis running those times? I can't find my damn helmet anywhere but I want to go Friday.They didn't say anything the first two passes, but the last pass they said I could run again that night, but would need one the next time I came to the track. I think the NHRA helmet requirement is for cars running 13.99 or quicker.

[Courtesy Flush]

Helmet, pants and close toed shoes are required if you plan to run.
Helmets can be rented from tower.

[thehead]

Damn forgot I had to wear pants.

[Grandpa]

They didn't say anything the first two passes, but the last pass they said I could run again that night, but would need one the next time I came to the track. I think the NHRA helmet requirement is for cars running 13.99 or quicker.

Cool. I'll just do what you did and make some passes until they say something. Who knows, as rusty as I am I may not run faster than a 13.99. lol.

Helmet, pants and close toed shoes are required if you plan to run.

Yeah, I used to just take sweat pants to pull over my shorts in case anyone said anything. I'll go rent a helmet if I have to - yuck!

[thehead]

I don't know if I will be meeting up with yall on 75. Kinda out of the way given Friday traffic and me coming from Irving. I usually go down 35. Less cops, and less traffic when going to 20. Might just meet you down there. Do the gates open at 6?

[Luke]

I think someone asked if it was crowded last time... No I saw 1 car run at least 7 times and that was taking breaks in between also didn't get there until 9. This is only my 3rd time coming to a track so I probably won't run, I'm also still trying to learn/fine tune my m/t driving., but I will be going. If y'all get there will you let me know where you're at?

[blownaltered]

Everybody still going. Going to leave here in about half an hour.

[l3g1t]

[BLK50]

I ran a best last night of 12.43 at 113.45 1.901 60ft 8.070/89.27 1/8th

Bone sock on radials. Track sucked but I did hook finally on this pass.

[46Tbird]

1.903 / 8.02 @ 89.20 / 12.385 @ 113.26

A little disappointed but still had a good time. Really glad to see a lot of people step it up and no one broke, so you gotta call it a success.

[03MachMe]

LOL, I can't wait to see you out there giving it a go.

Nick got the technical wins, I conceed to that. But everyone knows I was dragging his ass until I couldn't hit 4th to save my life. lol.

[BLK2012GT]

How do you miss 4th?

[Midnight11]

Yea even though I had a best time out of us? U have been doing this all your life though?

[Grandpa]

Yea even though I had a best time out of us? U have been doing this all your life though?

Uh, no you didn't. I ran a 12.50 bud and that was missing 4th. I also went 8.0 which you didn't even come close too.You only won that race cuz i was asleep at the wheel. :p


My first pass I ran a 12.68 right off the highway while you were moping around running mid 13's needing Ryan to pinch drive for you and he went 12.57 in your own car! lol.

[Grandpa]

How do you miss 4th?

The better question is, how do I miss it three times? lol I need a shifter and to make it the track more than once every 8 years. lmao

[BLK2012GT]

When you went 8.0 he went 8.1 so that's pretty damn close. I know this cause Nic text me the time slip.

[Grandpa]

Yeah, that was a good race. I was pissed I missed the gear cuz I was pulling away from him and would have won.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda. He got the wins. I will be back! /arnold.

[Doug1227]

Sounds like y'all had fun. I'll try and catch up with y'all next time. I'm kinda suprised the weather held. It was kinda cold and misty here in Allen Friday night.

[Grandpa]

It was great. We practically had the track all to ourselves. It was cold but the mist didn't start falling until 10pm or so. It was still fun though. I look forward to the next group track night. :)

[Doug1227]

My best et has been a 12.36, so I'm sure I'll have my hands full with some of you 6MT cars. Unless I get my upgrades installed before the next one! Still haven't ordered yet.

[Midnight11]

Love the miss info until I provided the timeslip. At least I got better every run

[Luke]

I ran a best last night of 12.43 at 113.45 1.901 60ft 8.070/89.27 1/8th

Bone sock on radials. Track sucked but I did hook finally on this pass.

This is exactly what I needed, my car ran an 8.07 at Kennedale a while back, I figured around 12.40's in the 1/4 but had a 1.94 60'. What tires were you running, I was still on the stock Pirellis.

[BLK50]

Mickey Thompson Street Comp Radials 285/35/19 I had shit traction until I dropped them to 20psi.

[Luke]

Makes sense, plus not a lot of sidewall. I won't go without some 15" on DR's, maybe I'll be a little faster than expected. That's a damn good time for stock with some tires though. It took my auto a tune and O/R x-pipe to run that.

[thehead]

I had fun but the mist kept me from getting in the 12's. 13.03 was my best with a2.15 60ft. First couple of passes I didn't have the traction control off correctly. I think it will run some 12.80s on stock 19s. I guess for a car with less than 400 miles on it it did ok. Every pass was faster than the previous. I was slightly disappointed that the mist came when it did. The car had a 12 in it next pass.

Stock Boss lol. I was disappointed actually. I should be running 12.2, but everyone was about 2 1/10ths off.

[Grandpa]

Stock Boss lol. I was disappointed actually. I should be running 12.2, but everyone was about 2 1/10ths off.

I agree. I'm sure the mist and cold pavement had plenty to do with that. But it was fun still and your Boss looked great going down the track! Nice to see one being used for a change rather only leaving the house for cars and coffee. lol.

[BLK50]

I'm verifying online, but I think I ran the fastest in the country with a Stock Boss on radials.

12.17 @111.75 1.83 60ft - mph off as I missed 5th so car has 11's in it's future even on radials. It was 59 degrees. This was a Dallas Raceway this weekend "Crandall"

[46Tbird]

Missed 5th?? What rear gear are you running??

On the MT-82, fourth gear is 1.32:1 and fifth gear is 1:1.

So fourth gear on the new cars is just like running around in third gear on an old T-5 (1.34:1). When you figure that all Bosses come with 3.73s and the Laguna Seca has ~27" tall rear tires (285/35-19), you can see why he would need to shift to fifth for the quarter mile, even with the Boss intake/heads/rev limiter. He's trapping over 91 in the eighth so he should be around 116 in the quarter, but fourth gear won't take it all the way there.

Or switch to some 28.5" tall tires like I did and keep it in fourth. :headbang:

Great job Matt! I still can't believe it was hooking like that!
