Going to try to go up tonight. Got everything squared away.
Also I think im going to "modify" the list, instead of XX clubs, I will just list 1 through XX.

On the way, wish me luck.
Little worried, Pbonsalb is handicapping me. When I wasn't looking he added a bunch of weight to my gas tank. I see this is going to be a cut throat season.

I think you would have broken into the 12s if you were not carrying all that extra fuel weight.
There was also a 135i with N54 and JB4 tune that ran in the 13s with traps as high as 107, an 08 M3 that trapped in the 13s at almost 104, a 335i of unknown year and mods that trapped in the 13s at around 105, and an E46 330ix that trapped at around 90.
Pretty much a night of spinning. Next try will be a day trip. Test and tune on a Sunday.
Not sure they prepped for drag tires. Most likely on Wednesday they clean for "street tires" . Usually a bad 60ft is 2.2 , not 2.6. Which seemed to be what everyone was achieving.
Either way it was fun, and can't wait to go again. Thinking a test and tune on a Saturday with a little bit warmer weather. With enough notice I can close up shop for a Saturday if we want to get a crew going.

Make it out yet?
Side note, put a call into M&H (makers of the tires im running) let him know how poor traction was, and he informed me to stay OFF the track under 60 degrees. The tires will be useless with temps below 60. But @ least I got in some runs, didn't break anything and got a personal best for trap speed. Also a personal worst for 60ft times.
Sunday is import wars. I hope weather is good. Should be a great time.

Unfortunately yes (kinda) he said try to not do it again, spinning in 2nd and 3rd is only going to waste the compound. But he assured me that on a 75 degree day, they will hook so hard we will either have a great pass or break something. Phil and I were kinda worried about the size, but he is 100% confident they will hold up just fine. So we will have to have faith in the guy who has 30 years of making drag tires I guess.

I've been toying with the idea of launching from 2nd, funny you ask cause I did a ton of searching on it last week. From what I read, its not a good idea. Do you know people that have?
Yeah drag radials will snap those axles. Unless you preload the drivetrain @ the tree. I busted 5 328 axles. Now I have the M3s and are cryotreated. I really hope I don't break one of those.
Side note; I never broke an axle while s/ced , due to the way power was delivered, I think you maybe fine.

Yeah, I'm sure that the flatter torque curve of the SC helps with axles. But 400ft-lb is still more than 2x what they were designed for. So I bet I could still break one with a very hard launch in 2nd on a drag surface.
I have launched in 2nd on street tires, and it feels fast. I imagine with the right launch it would be faster. If you think about it, 2nd is only good for 55-60mph. Which is about what a Corvette or something like that does in 1st gear. Not comparing the two drivetrains, but I don't think it would bog badly. Would be a different story with a 2.93 or lower.

I would not launch in 2nd due to concerns about the clutch, with 3.38 gearing. Probably not with a 3.64, either (I never did when I had a 3.64). Maybe with a 3.91. But I am curious about how it goes if you want to try it . . . .
