first off... it was so much fun
first time i ever went to the track... i met lots of hella cool people...
at 6 i was lined up with a couple scooby guys and they were askin bout the car, and I was asking them for tips for a track newbie... so they were givin me pointers... how to launch AWD is a pain and it's hard to perfect...
so we line up, i line up behind a chick in an SRT-4 (running constant 14.2's all nite) she was talkin big about her car, and i was like cool...
surprisingly for the first time at the track... i was cool calm and collected... i was surprised... everyone that told me about their first time at the track was shakin, nervous and anxieous...
but just as the scooby guys said... your first run will be crap... and me being myself was out to set them str8...
so i trap, the scooby guys told me to test launch right after the water box... so i did, it was ok...
when i was staging, i went over the box... and the annoucer was like 'looks like the lancer is staging with his rear tires' at that point i was embarassed... :chuckles: but it's all good, i was a track newbie so that was my excuse all nite...
first run, got a so-so start, bogged first, throw it into second and GRIND!!!!! i grinded second TWICE!!! then kinda 3/4 throttle...
first run
reaction = .511 :thumbup:
2.1 = 60' :thumbdown:
14.5x = 1/4 :AF:
grinding gears and bogging first...
so, next run, i wanted to get the shifter into every gear and just build confidence....
so i step up to the plate, i know now how to stage this time properly... got some confidence, felt a bit more comfortable...
reation = .7xx
60' = 2.0 (so-so)
1/4 = 14.04 :AF:
i was pissed, i was so close to 13's...
3rrd run i was against a 89 turbo'd civic... he ran a 13.8... i was ahead of him, until i grinded 4th :AF:
60' = 1.92 (getting better)
14.06 @ 98.xx grinding fourth...
4th run, i was so determined to hit 13's... there was a red evo that came last week, everyone said he was running 14.2's and up... so i beat him already... but i was not satisfied... i wasn't going home without hittin 13...
4th run against a modded WRX...
60' = 1.92x
1/4 = 13.96x :applaud:
i know that time sux for an EVO (averaging 13.4-13.7) but considering this is my first time to the track, fourth run and the damn humidity, i was happy...
but of course, it settles, i line up again, and now i wanna beat my time...
5th run
60' = 1.96x
1/4 = 13.92x
i had a blast, even though those times are pathetic compared to other evo's on the boards..
i will definately make it a point to go wednesday nites... friday's i heard it was too crowded...
i got 5 runs in, i could have did 6, but i was hungry as sh*t by 9:30ish
i know i suck, but i will get mid 13's with practice!!!
who's going next wednesday with me :thumbup:
