Today -- Maryland International Raceway

[1320racer]

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 bit 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...?

MIR is running Test and Tune all day from 10 am to 6 pm. The forecast is another sunny day with temps in the low 50s. I will likely stay until 3 pm.

My last visit to MIR was a sunny day with temperatures hovering just over 50F and the track was prepped very well. A M6 arrived later in the day but unfortunately it didn't work out for us to meet. I saw the M6 run against a last gen CTS V on slicks and it was a very close race.
CTS V= 12.03 sec at 114 mph
M6 =12.04 sec at 119 mph

If I get an early run and it is below 50 F, I hope to get an ET of 11.5 seconds.

The final day at the track but was just too warm for any new best times. In addition, heavy rains yesterday and last night caused a delay in opening the track. Instead of racing at 10 am, initial runs were not made until after 1 pm when it was approximately 65 F. Since they started racing late, I only had time to make two runs this afternoon.
(Run 1) 11.8 sec at 120.5 mph(Run 2) 12.0 sec at 120.0 mph
