I am going out to the track Wed. night and am going to race. (This time for real) If anyone has any pointers or could tell me what I should be able to achieve with stock (no mods) 6MT. Such things as the govenor rpm shut off, rpm shift times, VDC on or off. Anything would be greatly appreciated.
I have raced before at the track, but need refresher.
<span style="color:darkblue">VDC off! And I don't know about the MTs, but the sh!tty-matics kill the throttle at 6900. I can tell you from experience, that's not fun. Haha
Well, it's about 7 hrs from the tree. VDC off. Burned off gas to 1/2 tank last night. Going to stop at house and empty my stuff from the hatch (Yes, I'm a girl and I live in my car). Just need to secure a helmet and I'll be ready to roll. I'm very excited. Hopefully I can find someone capable of operating my digital camera. I really would like some pics to post tomorrow.
!/4 tank or less of gas...VCD OFF!! Drop the rear tire pressure to about 24-26 lbs, pull tghe brake light fuse which will allow you to do a brake stand burnout..Get some white smoke to heat the tires up..When your staged I like to keep the E-brake on a bit so I dont roll to a red light..Rev to about 2000-2500 rpms and slip the clutch a bit off the tree and mash the gas as the last yellow lights up...Good luck you should easily run a 14.4-13.9
Thanks Everyone. I was not able to get to the track on time to register to run. I had to make an appearance at dinner with the Boss and his daughter/family. There was a LS from Louisiana that ran 14.7. The first time I've seen a Z at the track. Could not catch up with him but did give him a thumbs up while he was waiting his turn. Next week watch out. I will practice some this week.
Hey Toni. We are going out to No Problem Raceway in a couple weeks and you can come with us out there too if ya want. Its a much nicer track than in Gulfport and they dont require you to wear a helmet if your not running below 12.
I agree with Daking. I had my best runs with around a 2k launch by slipping the clutch at the last yellow and mash it at almost the same time. Hit the accelerator when the 3rd yellow hits.
Just call me up if you need any more help. Will see you at the meet in a few days!
So last night i hopped on i smaller side hiway. Entrance ramp is nice and curvy so i usualy try and tear through it. Well i look in my rear view and see xenons and orange LEDs trying to keep up with me. Didnt work out for him but anyways he rides my ass so i pull into teh right lane once we...

i know i should have known better at my ripe age of 31 but i could not help it, new bmw wanted to play so we did..... i lost....but consider this, my stock 06 with only a nismo cold air running with a turbo inline 6 bmw, on paper its an easy win for him considering we are both at 300hp stock...
So I'm driving home for lunch when a primered CRX with a muffler the size of Texas gives me the REV REV and takes off like an angry turtle. 10 seconds latter I realized he intended to race me....I started laughing so hard I almost wet my pants :lmfao: . I'm tempted to cruise the Honda CRX...
