1/4 Mile times yesterday
Went to the drag strip ... I'm not a big fan of drag racing, but I could always appreciate the sport. I gathered up my friends with fast cars and off to test and tune we went. My '09 135 is bone stock w/original run flat tires(that are pretty much beat). This was also my first time on a legit drag track. I'm car 111, this was my best time posted out of 4 runs at 14.069. I did this run with traction completely off. 3500rpm at launch. My reaction times were about the same all day, not great. I got alot of wheel spin in 1st, 2nd, and a little in 3rd. Also on one of my runs I had a gear grind on a fast shift from 3rd to 4th. I know that shift was clean, but I heard that nasty noise.
So, what you guys think? I know the 135 isn't a strait line racer, but it certainly scoots along. Getting on that track was quite a rush. Good times...
