Hey, Lets all meet up at PIR soon!!!! I went last friday night, first night of the late night drags this year. Here is how it went...

I raced my car for the very first time last friday night, 4/11 at Portland International Raceway. My third pass of the night was my fastest. I had half a tank of gas and everything was normal on the car (ie, recommended tire pressure, spare in the trunk, etc). My only mod to the entire car is an Injen CAI. Here are my times...

R/T--------.506 (.006 from a perfect light, blah!)
60'--------2.015
330'------6.128
1/8-------9.569 at 70.91 mph
1000'----12.618
1/4--------15.186 at 87.61 mph

I released the clutch at about 3800 and made the pass in 4th gear. It was a high humidty night and about 50-55 degrees. Anyway, i think 15.0** is possible with a higher rpm launch(if you want to risk it) and possible better shift points. I was shifting before the redline, usually around 6k. The top end just isn't in these cars, it is all about taking everyone off the line and watchin them try to play catch up at the end of the track! Its quite funny actually.
