Went to MIR for the first time today, Eurocharged had a private track rental. It was a beautiful day in the upper 50's. Lots of VERY fast cars there today, Benz's, GTR's, CTS-V's, Vette's, and radial drag cars running 4.5 seconds at 175 mph! There was even a diesel F250 with a stack running in the low 11's at 127 mph on a consistent basis-pretty awesome to watch. I've got some video of that I will post up later.

I found the track to be very slick. My Conti DWS are obvisouly NOT track worthy tires which was a problem. I could not brake boost at all without spinning out of control. I tried brake boosting anywhere from 2500 rpm down to 1800 RPM, feathering the accelerator with no luck. As soon as I released the brake and applied any kind of throttle I busted loose usually fish tailing or tracking sideways thanks to no LSD. Sadly my best time came when I just punched it in DS, no brake boost and even then I spun. I ran a 13.74 at 104 mph on that run w/60' time of 2.277 seconds. If I had drag radials it would have been a different story. Oh well, it was fun anyways. I will certainly be better prepared next time.

I will post up some video later once I figure out how to upload them from my new phone.

nice I like to see d's running! Stock or JBD'd?

I plan on using my drag radials off of my M3 and hit up the track this summer.

Jbd at 100% lots of unruley torque today.

The only thing I've seen run a 4.5 in the quarter was at something more like 325mph and it was top fuel car.

All things considered that is a respectable time and speed. Were you running a tune at the time or is that stock?

I don't know unless they were being timed in the 8th. either way these were trailer towed drag cars with blowers and they were fast as shit.

I had the JBD set at 100%, rear seat out and like a 1.5 gallons of diesel in the tank, so I was light. After 5 runs I was worried I was going to run out of fuel, needle was almost on 0. Some pretty amazing street cars there and one ZR-1 running mid 10's.

That does sound like an 1/8th mile time for a decently quick dedicated drag car.

Did you get any wheel hop? My 335 used to wheel hop pretty bad on the RFTs and it's not like I could even drop the pressure to help with it.

Stock ZR1? Or modded? Drags?

Def had drags not sure if it was modded. Looked stock but that doesn't mean anything. There were a bunch of vettes there including a modded z06 with drags running low 11's.

nope no wheel hope, the track just felt extremely slick on my tires. They slipped as if I was driving in the rain. These tires connect SO much better on the street. I can launch it pretty it easy with minimal spin.

This sounds like fun. Maybe I can get my d out for a couple runs when it warms up.
