(Today) Maryland International Raceway
Join me at MIR today to race and/or watch some 1/4 mile passes. It is Test and Tune from 10 am to 6 pm.
I visited MIR several weeks ago and temperatures were 55-60F and the track was prepped well. My best of two runs was 11.8 sec @ 120 mph with the rear tires dropped to 25 psi.
Today is forecasted to be partialy sunny and temperatures in the 50s. I hope to get a better launch and lower my elapsed time (ET) to 11.6 or 11.7.
I haven't had the car long but I'm actually a little disappointed. I expected this vehicle to run 11.4 to 11.5 at 125+mph since it has the Dinan Stage 2 active. What I've noticed is that the Dinan "piggyback" seems to only have a noticeable impact beyond 65 mph. I suppose this is for warranty reasons as the drive train is not being exposed to higher torque at take off...?
