Default My NEW best time!

I spent the day at Texas Motorplex having a ball. I ran my best ever and whipped up on a Z06 Corvette! It kills me that I can't find software to run my old scanner with W2K, but I'll list my best of the day. Temp was low 60's, humidity in the 90+ range. We had a couple of very light mists, but no real rain thankfully. Anyway, here's the best run:

R/T: .565
60': 2.131
330': 5.973
1/8: 9.222 (Woohoo!)
MPH: 74.87
1000: 12.067
1/4: 14.489 (I was stoked!)
MPH: 91.85


This was the run where I took out the Corvette, heads up! His times show that he had a tough time getting hooked up and going.

Corvette Z06
R/T: .751
60': 2.69
330': 6.883
1/8: 9.917
MPH: 82.86
1000': 12.410
1/4: 14.474
MPH: 109.95

As you can see, he was catching me fast, but I still nipped him by 0.1711 seconds at the line. Close!

The traction was awesome as shown by the 2.131 and another of 2.123 in the 60'. Unfortunately, I broke out on my last run, having dialed in a 14.60, running a 14.562 against another Corvette. [V]

I got to make five runs total:

The one above plus these:
14.620 @ 91.40
14.996 @ 93.30 (Bad wheel spin)
14.674 @ 93.13
14.562 @ 93.30


I'm going back out next week to an 1/8 mile strip, not known for it's great traction, so we'll see what the difference is.
