Well I've never been to a track before, ever. Not even as a spectator.

Went out to the local track called Rock Falls in Wisconsin today to run her at a track for the first time ever.

Went with some veterans who showed me the ropes, and kinda coached me along.

Ended up with a best time of 11.2 @ 135.

I had issues with my clutch slipping, and missing shifts all day. My "coaches" told me to just relax, just shift naturally, don't worry about shifting extremely fast for the first time, and instead just focus on making some clean runs. So that's what I did and ran the above time.

We had like 5 cameras out there, but no one was recording on this run, except 1 person. Turned out kinda crappy, but it's all we got.
Brandon 11.2 @ Rock Falls

Anyhow, I'm pretty pumped because it has a lot more in it. I just need to get more practice, learn to drive it better, and I should be into the 10's !!

Also, the car has no cage, full weight, and tech never said a word to me about running that time

Nice pass. Keep working on it.

135 is mid 10 trap speed in that car.

Dr. D-Series · « **Reply #4 on:** May 03, 2009, 08:20:38 PM »

I say even faster than 10.5.

My 132.8 went 10.54.

Great 1st time out dude, you'll be DEEP in the 10's real soon.

With something more like a 1.6 60', and setting up my No Lift To Shift, and some improved shifting, and I definitely think I'll be around a mid-high 10.

I'm sure they won't ignore that though, and I'll get the boot pretty quick.

This winter I think I'm going to consider putting just a basic 5 point cage in it.

Corey, get your shit running and come out on the 31st with us!

Awsome trap speed. 10's fo sho

It's completely obvious that the driving is holding you back, but most people that have that problem use the excuse to say they ran a 17. Dude, it was your first time out and you're knocking on the door of 10's.

I'm gonna have to step it up.

90dx · « **Reply #10 on:** May 03, 2009, 10:14:52 PM »

Nice work for the first time out

Tens are coming next outing

Come on out. We're looking at going on the 30th or 31st again. I'm hoping Austin comes along just for the experience. Even if the shuttle is only running 15's, that's still faster then 50% of what's out there. I was pretty shocked to see a brand new Toyota Camry 4-dr, Saturn Aura, and a new Toyota Corolla out there. What a waste of $40 to run 17's in something like that. Just my opinion.

ju-on · « **Reply #13 on:** May 03, 2009, 10:22:47 PM »

Someone told me that the rumor is next season, parachutes are going to be required at 135.

Let me know in advance. Work is getting crazy, which is good for money, but not good for time to work on the car. I know what you're saying about the rock falls attendance, and I'm not worried about clowning those homos, but if my car runs a 15 and doesn't leave the tranny at the starting line, I'll burn that fucker to the grizz-ound.

You let me know if you need some help getting that thing ready!

Only if you completely fail to learn how to drive.

skinnye · « **Reply #18 on:** May 03, 2009, 11:43:58 PM »

congrats, did aron with the white talon go with you? btw rock falls sucks big time. The tracks down here hook better and on test n tunes only cost like $15 to $20 to run, plus you don't have to drive 2 hours each way. Also they are extremely lax on tech, if it runs you can race.

Toysrme · « **Reply #19 on:** May 03, 2009, 11:47:40 PM »

fast car! get someone with xp to drive it so you have yourself a benchmark.

our local track...where this guy bought the number 69 for the entire season.

and then we have this guy

I know what your saying...

ju-on · « **Reply #23 on:** May 04, 2009, 10:37:07 AM »

Yeah Aaron was with. He didn't bring the Talon though because he's throwing a new tranny in it. He was one of the guys helping coach me along.

And no I'm not having someone else drive it. It's my car that I had fun building. And now it's time to have fun learning how to drive it. Just going to take some practice, it's a learning curve. That's how I see it.

I would agree with....BT. I've rode in/drivin fast cars.

Auto-x/road course/rally on any level > drag racing

That said, I wont knock drag racing...if that makes any sense. I personally would rather auto-x/do a HPDE or participate in any level of rally.

i'd consider a car that will run with street bikes a fast car.
