Personal Best 12.326 @ 117.51 mph

Disappointing night but I did manage a pesonal best. The track was absolutely packed last night which made heatsoak an issue, not to mention I could only get 5 passes in. I also had a nightmare of a time swapping to my DRs as my jack broke.

I ran 3 passes on my street tires when I arrived to get a baseline:

Mods are as follows:
AMS FMIC
BMS DCI
AR 3" C@tless DPs
BMW Performance Exhaust
JB3 Map 9
Street Tires
MS103 Race Gas
Seats In (sunday they will come out)

Pass 1: 12.328 @ 116.60 with a 1.914 60"
Pass 2: 12.326 @ 117.51 with a 1.989 60"
Pass 3: 12.338 @ 116.76 with a 1.971 60"

Next passes are with Mickey T ET Street Drag Radials, all other mods same (ran map 9 again cause I was pushing 19 psi on my gauge)

Pass 4: 12.536 @ 116.04 with a 2.017 60" (aweful lunch and even worse burnout)
Pass 5: 12.637 @ 113.69 with a 2.012 60" (another aweful launch, better burnout)

And that was all the passes I could muster. It was a very fun but disappointing night. Lessons learned are as follows:

1. Bring a back up jack, I broke mine and it took me 1.5 hours to swap tires as a result
2. Need much better burnouts, I need a ton more practice on this it was embarassing
3. More aggressive at launch, I feathered like I do with streets instead of giving it harder
4. Arrive to the track 1 hour before it opens to have DRs on and everything prepped and ready

what tires are you running for your street set-up?

OK, I'll bite: How did you swap tires without a jack?

[Irishace]

Running Hankook Ventus V12 streets, swapped tires by finding someone else who had a jack and let me borrow it.

Be careful with aggressive burnouts in a street car with drag radials. A nice second or third gear burnout will get wheel speed up there but will also eventually break driveline in a street car.

Looking forward to more passes, great to read!
