an update to this thread https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=161309. My times were worse this time around. The first run of the day was against my cousin's stock STI. Boy, did I kick some butt. He ran a 13.7 while I ran a 15.3, no excuses just a bad driver w/ bad launch. The video is currently being optimized on Streetfire, I'll post the video when it's available.

The second run was a 14.001, the 3rd was a 14.91, the forth was a 14.23 the fifth was a 14.59(driven by another evo owner) and finally the last one of the day racing in the low 14 bracket I ran a 13.732. My goal for going out to the track was to break into the 13's, even if it was a 13.999. I know it's pathetic to for a Evo to run 14's but hey, you learn as you go. The pros gotta start somewhere.. j/k

THe first five runs were on a 5K launch with shifting at 7200-7500 RPMS. The last one, I gave it all I got. Launched at 6K and shifted at 7K rpm on 1st, then 7200 RPM on the rest. Man, another pathetic thing, I was screaming in the car quietly to myself when I grabbed that time slip and saw the 13.7xx time.

All and all I accomplished my goal, but it did suck to see my cousin in the STI run consistent 13.7's with his first time at the track and only owning a AWD car for 1 month. He is a better driver, I'm sure he would've gotten better times than I could in my Evo.

It was a good day, weather was crisp and cool and I met another fellow member: Evil_1. His best time of the day that I saw was a 13.19. Not too bad... I learned a few things from him and I think we built a good relationship. Will definitely keep and touch and hang out at the track.

 

good for you practice makes perfect.

 

Just keep at it, you'll get there. Practice makes perfect. I've racked up bout 80 timeslips since I got the car this time last year.

 

Why did you title this thread as you did, when you actually ran your fastest times?
