Two threads on this?

I have been planning on this all week. I'm off work at 5 in San Clemente. Then I would fight North county commute traffic all the way to La Mesa then I have to find my helmet. I hope it didn't grow legs and walk away.

If all that goes well, I plan on having fun with the 1/8th mile.

As long as I get through tech before they close it, I can show up whenever I want right?

racelegal.com puts on a great event. It was a lot of fun and beginner friendly. And, renting a helmet was no problem.

Their next event is Jan 4. It would been nice if I wasn't the only bmw on track next time.

In San Diego. At the Qualcomm stadium (where the Chargers play). They had 2 1/8 mile strips set up side by side. The far side was "treated" and the near side was horrible traction. All the cars in the 7s or with slicks were on the treated side. All the rookies and stock cars were on the more parking lot surface.

I got in just shy of 20 passes. It could have been way more if I wasn't walking the pits and spectating for an hour or two. By the time it hit 11pm, most cars had left already. So, I was able to run, then get right back in line with just one or 2 cars in front of me. At the most busy, the line was never more than 12 cars deep.

What kind of times are you running down there? I have been wanting to take my car down there while it is still stock. I use to run my Cobra down there all the time but haven't been back since. I would be interested in getting together with other E90/92s next time out.

I just counted. I have 19 time slips.

For the most part, I was running 9.5s at 77mph. It took me many passes to get the idea of launching. Not that I have figured out how I should be launching, but I have a few ideas on how to launch the manual. My best of the night was 8.93 @ 86.37. All stock except for my custom, cracked fog light lens.

Honestly? I don't really know. The 2 shifts (finish the 1/8th in 3rd) were probably at about 6500. The quality of launch was so low, most runs, I was thinking about how bad the launch was instead of what exact RPM to shift.

RPM at launch was kinda a joke. I would get wheel spin in 1st at full throttle, regardles of an attempt at aggressive launch. I did have the traction control completely off. I don't know if that was wise, but that netted the 8.9. There was a lot of gentle throttle modulation. In hindsight, I probably should have taken some air pressure out of the runflats, but I don't know enough about drag racing to know how far to go.

I used to live a few minuites away from Qualcom, it's basically a joke. Fun to hang out with friends though!

Yes, by no means is Quallcomm a real track. Like you said it is a good place to have some fun with your car without being arested. If you can get good times at Qualcomm you could do even better at a real, well prepped track.
