Thread: Im goiing to Sacramento Raceway 7/27/05...any suggestions?

i ran a 13.2@101 at 4500 ft with nothing but 3" exhaust and an afc. i hope to god you run faster than a 15.0 at sea level :roll:

Droopy... what mods do you have? You should definately be able to hit under 15sec even if your car's stock as long as you know how to launch your awd. You want a 3.0sec in the 0-60... :shock: 0 to 60 ft. in 3 sec. is alot! You're gonna be under 2 sec. with a decent launch. Race gas there is expensive and not worth it especially if you're not running crazy amounts of boost. If you insist on getting race gas, swing by the 76 station on the corner of Watt and Marconi. I don't like Sac Raceway because it's to hot and the track itself is kinda ghetto. People say they run like 1/2 sec. quicker at Infineon. Watch out for the right race lane, the starting line isn't flat and your car start rolling over it when your clutch is in and you're waiting to launch. Good luck!

hey that sounds kinda fun, i might see about going.

btw you should be into the 14's if you can drive.

anyone else i might know going droop?

If you've never been at the track before and don't know how to launch an awd, expect 15-16 secs. Nerves and a new environment do that. But don't feel bad. Tooners and Talk 'say' you should be getting a 14.5ish times, but just do your best and concentrate soley on your 60' and your trap speeds. If you pull an ass time, we can help explain what you need to work on if you post your timeslip. Remember, as a first timer, DO NOT pay attention to the tree. Once it turns green, take your time in learning how to launch versus trying to get a good reaction time. Reaction time means diddily when you just want a good 1/4 number. Play with the rpm between 5-5500, consistantly reving, then when your ready mash the gas, then slip the clutch like your at a traffic light normally, but dump it faster then you would. You'll know when to release the clutch, about half a second, when the car starts to roll. Good luck!

put your stock rims back on. put the tire pressure to 18 psi in the rear and 20 psi in the front.
