I went to opening day at Capital Raceway yesterday and I got 3 runs in. I was pretty satisfied considering im only APR Stage 1 with a slightly leaking DV and a intake and I was on all seasons.

Heres the numbers -------------------

First Run-
R/T- .772
60'- 2.385
1/8- 9.341
MPH- 78.56
1000- 12.008
1/4- 14.270
MPH- 98.56

My first run I realized after launching that the track was very sticky. I only launched at 3000rpm and the car fell on its face so hard that it almost stalled. Much different than the street.

Second Run-
R/T- .992
60'- 2.092
1/8- 9.006
MPH- 78.43
1000- 11.681
1/4- 13.955
MPH- 97.81

So the second run I launched at 4000rpm and got very good results. Check out my 60' !!!!

Third Run-
R/T- .744
60'- 2.086
1/8- 8.906
MPH- 78.96
1000- 11.567
1/4- 13.838
MPH- 97.33

Finally my third run I managed to cut a 13.8. Im definitly happy with my times. Im definitly ordering a downpipe and a aftermarket DV and getting flashed stage 2. Im thinking I can definitly cut a 13.5 after that.

WOW amazing ET and 60' especially for a manual. But why is your MPH so low? Its strange most stage ones are trapping about 100 MPH. Maybe because you have a leaking DV.

I went to the track yesterday was well and i did not have any traction on the A/S tires. I only pulled a 2.25 60'.

Honestly, I think you're numbers reflect the track preparation, as well as your driver skill. A badly prepped track is useless for launching. Where you dropping the clutch or slipping it agressively? I hope to get my 60' times down for this season.
