Yes, there are a couple more weekday T&T's left, they are open into Dec on the weekends though.

Local forecast is saying it may rain between 3-5pm, I'll be keeping an eye on it...

I don't think we know each other.

[jdmwill]

i'll try to make it out again.

[redline]

Depending on what time I get out of work I will make it down to get some 3rd and 4th gear logs and a trap speed. Not too concerned with E.T. yet

I'd go but I am somewhat raced out and my car will not hook there..I spin at 4700rpm launch control with 20psi in the tires

What clutch? I would think you would have your LC at 5500, any benefit of having it below the stock setting? I am guessing traction issues made you lower it?

[peteyturbo]

I have an Exedy twin disc w/ heavy duty pressure plate. I can still slip the clutch but it just wants to spin no matter what, you can't drive around the waterbox at atco either..I lowered it in hopes of not riding the rev limiter through first or letting off the gas..I make 380-390ft-lbs between 4100 and 5500 so that may have something to do with it lol..Last trip to atco I had to clean ALOT of rubber from my mudflaps, result was 12.0's at 116 pump gas with high 1.9's..Guess I ned to put my snow tires on and give it a shot.
FYI my trap speeds are wacky compared to my et's due to the 6 speed..I am running out 4th gear at 8000rpms or so, with a regular 05 evo 5 speed trans I would expect 120mph with an 11.6 with no other changes..I hit 95mph in the 1/8th on sunday
alwaysinboost: we still need to go to the track before the end of the year though..

come on, spinning is fine. I usually leave the line sideways, with the rear out, but with the AWD it will pull the car straight, eventually.

I guess we know some of the same people...

[peteyturbo]

dude, I could barely get 1.9's on 245/45/17 RE01R's! 1.6's were the norm for me last year!!

how much pressure did you run in them?

I tried twice this year on the RE01-R's and wheel hopped both times so I had to abort. only managed mid 1.8 - 60's both times. I was running 20-22psi but I think with those tires you need more air so they actually spin a little bit to avoid wheel hop because they grip so well.

I usually manage mid-low 1.7's on a regular basis with the blizzack 'drag radials'. They are going on this weekend.

19 and 21psi, no hop at all, it felt like a badly slipping clutch thats how smooth it was.I'm sure the temperature plays a huge part..Earlier this year I had to launch at 6100 in order not to bog but that was before my peteyturbo tune
