Oct 4th St. Thomas/Sparta 5252 Track Day

Awesome times Jones! ! I know it’s got an 11.5xx in there, go find it! ! ;D

Makes me wish I had a DSG… Only sometimes!

How does it work with the dsg cuz it sounds like a manual doin a no lift shift?

That is exactly what it does. There are two transmissions mounted side by side, when one gear is engaged the next gear is already spinning at the proper speed waiting to be engaged. When the car shifts it quickly releases clutch one and engages clutch two

Great times Jeff!

Thanks Kris

Here are some videos from the day:

What size are your rims? What tires were you using?

18’s and same tires as Ron, DW I believe, or DWS, whatever the summer version is lol.

Great times! Congratulations. That 60’ is nuts.

Yup, I am 100% sold on the GIAC TCU flash.

I had 3 1.61 60’s

7+ 1.62-1.66 60’s

and my 1 1.60 60’

All using GIAC launch control, when I used my old side step method I did manage to get as low as 1.65 but mostly 1.7x’s

DW = DRY WET
DWS = DRY WET SNOW

It’s the DW tires… No snow for me, heck no rain for that matter…

Thanks for sharing the vids Jeff… Not sure I agree on the dragster approach to staging but that’s your call… Awesome 60’s!

Sorry, Ron, what is the dragster approach?

Doing a burnout through the lights and then having your buddy back you in like your a dragster ;D I was kind of messing with you…

Oh Bahahahah,

Yah, if I don’t get all the shit off my tires I tend to spin. So I always do that, it seems to work.

Yah I had a lot of support at the track that day and they were helping me stay in the glue!

Sorry, I seriously didn’t get it haha.

Having someone line you up to run 11.6 is pretty funny. People would make fun of that at Milan lol

That’s because at milan the track is basically glue. Lol, best prep I have ever seen.

nice runs!

kind of bummed to see B8 s4s get taken by Golf R’s though. A 2012 Golf R APR stage 3 manual just ran 11.1@128.

I guess there’s always a faster car out there. Maybe not a faster B8 S4 than Jones’s though! ;D

Yes I have seen guys try that at Milan and is always funny how they bog when they hit just out of the box.

Lovin the videos. That intake is serious. I bet the stage2 mustang guy just didn’t know what to say. I’m a big fan of domestics but i love owning them at the track with my S4 when I run.

no, it’s because big tire 8 or 9 second drag cars need lining up straight…so that they’re in the groove, and because if they don’t start straight, they hit the fucking wall hard. Or the guy in the other lane.

I meant that seeing someone do that with a modest power family sedan would get some chuckles.

what was his time/your time on that one?
