glenn (ozrally) and i went up to zelei last year and were both trapping way too high for only a 1/4 mile. i was running in the 95 - 98mph range at the end of the runway.
95-98 is actually slow for a 1/4 mile trap at the track in an evo.......stock is like 102-105 depending on year and stuff, modified is like 105+ depending on year and mods. Plus if it was longer you should have been even faster yet.

So maybe its shorter than a 1/4 mile?

I might actually go to that one in Zeli......i wont beat anyone but it would be fun anyway....

yeah, i realize that a stock evo should trap higher than the mid 90's, but what i am saying is that i don't think there is anyway i should be going that fast in the 1/8th mile. so i am thinking it was longer than an 1/8, but just slightly shorter than a 1/4.

either way it is a good time, and i want to get out there some weekend. jeremy owes me some grudge racing.

I have a IX with all the simple bolt-on stuff....tbe, intake, etc.

Also I dont really launch my car that much, have a few times with no clutch smell so far...(They seem to like the quick slip more than a high rpm dump, least from my experimenting). I dont have the money for a new clutch if I would end up frying mine racing so I dont want to go out and launch hard and risk having my car sit because I need it everyday....Thats why I said I would get beat, granny launching and hoping the other car is slow enough to run down but in the 1/8th. it wont happen!

oh sorry your post said "1/4 trap" not 1/8th thats why I posted that, simple misunderstanding........but if you meant 1/8th than yes that is really fast in the 1/8th for a stock or near stock evo.

Your making some good power when your going near or over 100 mph in the 1/8th,

Hey guys, Its me again, the kid attending Mount Aloysius COllege in Cresson, PA. I told you before how Im originally from CT, and I think I did talk to some around the area here.I ended up meeting only one evo so far, he is from Altoona, his name is Steve, drives an evo 8 Mr fully HKS built. Well, my point is, Im going back home to CT soon and was wondering if you guys are meeting anytime soon around the Altoona or somewhere around the area hah, if not, well then just wanted to say bye and good luck. What you say?
