Wednesday night Drags @ Sacramento Raceway June 09 2010

Drove out to Sacramento for Wednesday night Drags on a windy day to test how fast my RX-8 can run with the Racing Beat Dual Exhaust. The track prep was horrible, there was no traction at all. This didnt just happen to me but to my buddy's Cobalt SS as well.

Unfortunately best time at the track this time was 15.051 with a trap speed of 92.4 mph and a 60ft of 2.243 seconds

Wednesday Night Drag @ Infineon Raceway Best time 15.009 @ 92 mph

Went out to the Infineon Raceway today to see what the best time I could get for my stock RX-8. My first practice run was horrible, I messed up on the launch and bogged out at the beginning and ran a 15.814.

My second run, I didnt have enough time to maintain my RPM at 5000 for my launch and ended up spinning my tires out, so I let go of the pedal all the way and stepped back on it as quick as I can to regain traction. Ran a 15.311, trap speed at 90mph.
My third practice run was the best, I deflated my tires to 25psi, got a decent reaction time, good traction and ran a 15.009 with trap speed of 92mph. So for my elimination round I dialed in at 14.89 and thought I could run close to it.

Elimination round was my fourth run, and was horrible as I got a slower reaction time and missed third gear. Ran a 15.3 @ 91 mph.

Some pics of my car and other cars that I went with.
