It looks to me that they are only going test and tune on wednesday nights from 6pm to 10 pm? I didn't see any sunday racing. Guess i might have to wait until next year

2.6 60' can certainly hurt your Trap Speed. I'd bet the K24 car has a 127-128 at that track in it.

It depends. My highest Trap Speeds have almost always come with my slowest 60' times. A bad 60' will definitely reduce E.T. though.

In my experience once you get to 2.3 or 2.4 60' that rule goes out the window. 2.0-2.2 seems to be the best range for trap speed. Because if you're at 2.6 you've spun or bogged badly and lost lots of momentum which will cost you at the end.

But sometimes that spin (once it finally grabs traction) launches the car forward and ends up bumping up MPH by a noticeable amount.

Like I said; it just depends.

Nice squash of the Infiniti. Wish I could've made it.

Agree with Scott here, I have had bad 60' but higher traps.

I'll try and get some race fuel in the tank next time I'm out.
Keep me updated on your progress. I'm excited to see what your hybrids do at the track!

It's funny. My friends who are not into cars see the youtube video and all say the same thing. You went all the way to the track to have a race against an infiniti? They think every run is a grudge match.

I can't wait to see what you do on a race mix. I am placing bets that your trap speed should be 3-5 mph higher.

I will, our little K16's don't do so bad do they...lol
