went to the track today. 20$, all the runs i could get in. 1st run, im about 3/4 way down track, and i hear something clunk under my car, and look in the rearview and see what seems to be a side mirror. thinking it was on the track, and nothing on my car was loose, i didnt think much of it. so i make 3 more runs. best i could get in was 17.5209. so i figure ill let the car cool down, reset the battery (since i didnt when i did the fuel pump last week or the exhaust on thursday)...so i pull the fuse to reset the battery, pop the hood, and to my suprise, i see this (see pic 1). yes, that would be where my F*(K|NG AIR FILTER CAME OFF. IT FELL OFF, IT FELL THE FUCK OFF (ron white fans will understand that). so im like, FUCK! shut the hood so no one can see it get in the car, put fuse back in, turn to ACC, and my clock or radio arent working. so i try starting the car, starts fine, gauges working, a/c working, clock/radio arent. so i drive w/ very low rpms to town, spend like 10 min, find an autozone get a filter (27$) and go out and put it on. then, spend like 7$ on an assortment of fuses, go outside, check all fuses behind the little compartment on the left side, theyre all fine. so fuck it, go back to the track, run 3 more times. best i could get was a 17.4920. i got that one on film (if i can find a place to host 5.4 mb, ill post it) just stuck the camera between the headrest and the seat and pushed it down to hold it.
now im sure someones gonna say i didnt drive it right, driver error, something. i had great launches, hit my shift points PERFECTLY and still, all i could pull was a 17.492. the first 4, i was dumpin the clutch about 2k, 2600, 3k, and 3500, going up each run. when i came back from getting the filter, a skipped the burnout, and let off the clutch easily so i didnt peel out
heres a worksheet of all my runs, and the one from last year @ the very bottom
oh..mods. today - 2.5" SRI, 2.25" catback (evofusion) took my subs out, 205 tires.
mods last year - 195 tires (stock i think) fart can muffler on stock pipe, CAI, and had my subs in.
the break between 4/5 is when i left, so 5-7 are running w/ some octane booster (hey, couldnt hurt) and a new air filter. the very bottom is last year, march/april time, about an hour away from this place
