Not bad for you first time out. Get that 60' down, and with a little practice you should break 16s. Were you having any traction/bogging problems?

everything but my reaction time was great, I had been practicing my launches all that week and I had brand new tires on the rear, uummhh I had a healthy amount of wheel spin but it wasnt too much and my shifts were all really good but I am happy with it.

I went to the strip for the first time ever today. It is very intimidating. I believe I can break into 15's because my launches were terrible. I spun the tires through 1st. I can get way more traction on the street.

Gas 89 Octane (D'oh.....wrong pump. Luckily I only got a few gallons)
Temp 95+ degrees
R/T .885
60' 2.478
330' 6.825
1/8 10.468
MPH 67.26
1000' 13.626
1/4 16.281
MPH 85.04

I'll post my 1/4 time when I get home. The best I got was 14.65 @ 95.4 mph. I couldnt get any traction at all. I was spinning on 1st and 2nd even without dumping the clutch. I was letting go at 2500rpm. I think i need some radial drags. I got some vids but im trying to figure out how to extract it from my digital cam. Hope to learn it by this weekend. Hopefully get it on the net for you guys to see what the m3 swap can do.

Well, this thread seems to be doing better than my 1/4 mile thread so here's my best run

60' - Don't know since someone hit the sensor earlier in the day
1/8 - 10.120
1/8 mph - 69.1
1/4 - 15.762
1/4 mph - 86.72

Heres my vids. My first try on capturing videos to my computer. It wasnt as hard as it seems. You can either right click and save as or just click on the link.

1st run is pretty funny. This was my very first track run. I believe i ran a mid 15 spinning on first.
http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/we...ZmQzMXk1NDE%3D

2nd vid I ran against SRT4. Check it out, what you guys think? my best run 14.65. I need better tires. Cant get any traction on the launch even at 2k - 2500 launch. Still spinning til end of 2nd.

nice run, a little trick for getting traction try lowering your rear tire pressure a bit and see what happens.

I was running @ 26psi. I started @ 32psi. I'll the the launch down and hopefully break into 13s. Once I get my financial situation stabilized then Im getting a pair of Street legal radial drags. Either yokohama or Bfgoodrich.
