Default My 350 at the Track

Ok guys just got back from Pine Valley Raceway 1/4 mile track and decided to post my times here to let yall know how it went... I did 5 runs thoughout the day. Here are my times in order...

1. 13.566 at 102.04
2. 13.593 at 101.17
3. 18.670 at 69.34
4. 13.823 at 100.45
5. 13.581 at 101.42


I'll scan my times later if yall don't believe me. I just can't get my scaner working right now. I know yall are going to be wondering what happened on my 3rd run. Here it is... i decided to disable the VDIM and yes it was terrible i spun out from the start till half way down the track. So if anyone is going to the track don't disable the VDIM or else you'll be spining your way down the track also. There were around 5 vettes there and most of them were running 13.5-14.4 I was happy to be hanging with the vettes with my V6.

Yeah 13.5's is a great time with huge 20" wheels and super low profile tires. No wonder you didn't have any traction off the starting line.

Sorry guys i forgot to mention that i took my 20's off and had my OEM wheels back on. I will be getting my 20's back on and taking it back to the track to see what the difference in times are. My weight difference from my OEM wheels and my 20's are:

Front OEM wheel and tire 48.2 lbs
Front 20's wheel and tire 53.2 lbs
Back OEM wheel and tire 52.2 lbs
Back 20's wheel and tire 58.6 lbs

So i'll be looking at around 18.8 lbs weight difference between my OEM and my 20's. It was my first time at the track and had fun all day long and only one of my friend came close to my times. Here's the slip what we did. I'm the one on the left lane. My reaction time was getting better throughout the day.
