Last night air was pretty good so i decided to go to the local track where i live called Quaker City in salem ohio.
Last time i ran the car before that was at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk Ohio at DSM shoot out in august. That day recorded a personal best 12.15@115 mph on Apr Stg2 race tune at a DA of 2500. My 60 foot time in norwalk was 1.84. I Launched the with all traction/stability turned off and car on MANUAL MODE, but let the car shift through gears.
Last night DA was around 961 so i was very excited to see the difference. WHAT A SHOCKER!!
My best was 12.227@110.89 mph Car consistently did 12.2s. And on top of that My 60 foot time was 1.78.
There was no set up changes regarding my car. I ran the same race gas Gulf Mach 115. Same tires wheels. Same launching method smash and go. Only difference was i dropped the tire pressures to 36 because i figured it was pretty cool may need traction. And Launched the car with all traction/stability off but with SPORT MODE.
Here are my questions:
Is it possible that there is a difference in shift speed between dynamic manual mode and dynamic sport mode.
How come my 60 foot time was better but the car went slower on a much better DA.
Can it be the track it self being slower than Norwalk. People that run both tracks say Norwalk is a quicker track, how can that be!!
Here is 2 runs side by side for comparison purposes.
