Met a couple other Audi enthusiasts up at Sac speedway today. Was a good time. Weather was warmer than I expected. I wish they were open at night time during the colder months. I don’t operate a track obviously, but it would seem to make more sense to be open when conditions were better i.e. colder? But whatever. At least they are open year round. Looking at drag times DA was 360, so can’t really complain about that I guess.
2nd time ever going and I made my personal best a couple times, ha! No excuses, but my clutch was slipping like a mofo. First 3 hot lapped runs were a disaster, slipped all the way down the track. I shut her down and was contemplating saying fuck it. I need to get this bitch home anyway. But, after an hour of seeing everyone else having fun, I turned my boost down a bit with hopes that the reduced power output might allow my clutch to hold. For whatever reason(s), it worked. After a handful of shitty 13+ runs with 2+ 60-ft, I finally broke into high 12’s twice, still with 2+ 60-ft. Last run (personal best) I “cut” a 1.87 and final et 12.4 @ 115.
As soon as I popped 1st, it felt different and I figured it could be a decent run (for me). Car launched quick and 2nd hooked up nice. 3-4 was smooth and the resulting slip showed it.
Mix of race/pump gas in the tank. Still feels like there should be more in the car, but clutch won’t even hold the power it has as it is. Oh well.
Two others I met ran 12.1 @ 120+ (ft21 and e85) and 12.6 @ 112 (ko4 and pump/race mix). My old ko4’s actually. PinoyS4 and his brother met me up there. Good guys!
