Pacific Raceways
Just so it's known I'll be going there tonight and just wanted to see if any other 1er's are coming out. Gates open at 4 and I'll be there around that time and stay until 9 maybe. 1st time at the track with the 135i so we'll see what stock times I can muster out of it.

I posted in the track/dragstrip section but this is the post:
So the 1st pass was a total waste. I forgot to air out my rear tires, so with the 40 psi in then I managed a ricerific 14.78 @ 96.3 which I was beat my 2 hombre's in their Eclipse. But after that I dropped the psi to ~27 and left it there then 6 runs were from 13.7 - 13.8 with a 13.9 thrown in there and MPH was from 101-103. My fastest time was a 13.56 @ 102.6 but my fastest trap was 103.8 on a 13.83 pass, last pass of the night and hot lapped. It's amazing how I launched the 135i nor how I'd been launching it on the street didn't work well at the strip, it surely worked well in my GTO. Bring the revs to 1500-1800 and side step. It takes off on the street, as did my GTO but that track prep was killing it as my 60's were from 2.1-2.3 so wheel hop sucks worse in this car at the strip. I wanted to try something else but I just kept doing what I was use to doing. All in all I got 8 runs and this car doesn't seem to suffer from any heat soak as I made 2 passes back to back, 5 minutes apart and making identical runs of 13.83 with 1 at 102 and the other at 103.8. Thanks for asking. I want to go back sometime later but we'll see. |

Resurrecting a mildly dated thread here - looks like the weather will be really nice for this Saturday and Sunday (Oct 5th and 6th) and the drag strip at Pacific Raceway is open from 9am-5pm for Test & Tune on both days.

Well, it would be nice to go but I have a wedding to go to Sunday and Saturday I'll be spending time with the wife getting things ready since we're helping the person getting married with some things.
If anyone goes it would be nice to see what everyone else runs as long as the weather holds out like it is today. |
