My first time at the track
Sunday, July 09, 2006 1:43 PM
I went to the track at Bitburg yesterday (Germany). I don't want to make excuses, but It's slightly uphill, and hard to get good traction there. I did 2 runs, these are my results:

R/T: 1.063
60 ft: 2.529 (terrible, I know)
1/8th ET: 10.779
1/8th MPH: 68.18
1/4 ET: 16.54
1/4 MPH: 83.49

Second run:

R/T: 1.259
60 ft: 2.426
1/8th ET: 10.810
1/8th MPH: 66.08
1/4 ET: 16.665
1/4 MPH: 83.64

Now I'm no expert but I would have said that's a little sluggish for the car and mods you have listed in your signature. But, hey, still nice times.




I was happy when I heard my car ran 10s. Then I found out that was 0-60.

He failed to mention he was running on 19's as well... I had tons of fun there at Bitburg. Bitburg has terribly high elevation, the track clearly runs uphill and everyamerican there who ran their cars in the states says their car was almost a half second quicker at home.

I'll make excuses for ya... I know that place is sub-par but it's the best I got here.

I ran a 15.8... I know I'm doing tons better than this back in the US... I ran a 16.00 in NC with suspension and a cat back exhaust only.

Yes, thank you Chris. And it was fun, even as slow as I was.

Eh...old man with a Corvette now...it was bound to happen sooner rather than later right?
