Congrats to @STINGER

Given we have a few cars in the 11s now I think it would be useful if we started measuring calculated DA for all physical drag strip runs. If you're posting a slip you should include track elevation, air temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure. STINGER's run was -123ft calc DA which is seriously awesome turbo weather. I added a column in the Google sheet for Calc DA going forward

nice! I reckon that's the fastest RWD 60' time on here

That’s awesome sir. Cant wait to see see the times on DRs.

Hey Crewdawg, hows the flash tuning going? Havent heard from you on it in a while and it seemed like you guys were breezing right through it.

Should have it for all dragy runs too, IMHO.

I think we should start a petition for Dragy to automatically use location data / weather data to calculate the DA directly on the run. Boom, one more thing people can try to exploit

 

[Terry@BMS]

Would be sweet to get DA right on the slip. Their development team has a long list of things I've requested though that are still not in there. =/ I'll crack the whip next time I talk to them.

best runs of the night, 11.94, 12.03, 12.07. Track condition started getting worse and worse and more traffic came in, was aborting run after run due to spinning and decided to call it quits, lowered the tire pressure as well but made no difference.

11.94 and 12.07 logs attached. the 12.07 run would have been an 11 if it wasn't for some slight wheel hop

 

[brancky3]

I added calc DA's to the top 4 times on the Google sheet based on location and weather details of the day the Dragy / slip was posted (this took me entirely too long, but it's awesome data to have). Maybe this will put to rest the amount of doubt that Get Stung received over his time... look at that DA!

Weld quoted $600 per wheel , I think I will put it on pause for the moment.

Congrats to @STINGER

you've discovered one of the issues of public test n tunes at the drag strip. Morons on street tires drive through the water box instead of around it. They track water all over the starting line and it screws up everyone's traction.

Did you do any kind of peel out to clean your tires before lining up?

Yeah I did, also to get the Iat down a little with the wmi activating a little during the peel out. Overall It helped but wasnt enough. Need drag radials to be consistent 11.

did you back into the water box and use launch control for a second?

 

[brancky3]

He's on street tires, I hope he didn't go to the water box! Is there a reliable way to do a real burnout in our cars? Pulling the brake fuse maybe?

 

[STINGER]

Yup, do a burnout and peel out. Then do a launch to make sure it doesnt spin then stage the car.

You do a launch control and modulate the brakes and it will start spinning, tire needs to wet though to spin properly, it will burnout for a while but then it will shutdown if you keep trying to burnout for long, so you will have to release the brakes before it shutsdown and do a peel out.

as long as you're going around it when pulling in, backing into the damp area near it is fine. Burnouts on street tires is just for fun, doesn't help with traction. Spinning them a little will get the debris off which does help.

Yaay

Still at the track, will try to get better run.

The second stinger to hit the 11’s great job man ..... Hope you inspire others to do the same .....what’s mods ?

Nice runs your the first JB4 to hit 11’s at the track ... Now Terry can actually claim that .... Hope there can be many more at the track this summer ...dude that is awesome great job ......

I corrected my DA to - 1879 and added Tork +791 and Jesse P +724 as i had the slips handy.
