First time to track with 2K2 - results

[LarryS]

Here are my results for my first trip to the track. My Maxima GXE auto is bone stock. I did remove the spare tire and jack.

Not sure how to get a good burnout with this front wheel drive but I did my best. It pulls forward even with the emergency brake on. Tried the water box one time with disastrous results. Wheel hop is a real problem too. A few fixes, a couple of mods, cooler weather and this car might run pretty good for a front wheel drive family sedan.

Best et = 14.769 @ 88.44 mph (let up ET racing)
Best mph = 92.57 with a 14.834 et
Best 60' = 2.174 with a 14.898 et @ 92.24 mph

Too bad I had to let up on that 14.769 run as that would have been a little better et. 14.70 maybe?

My best et breaks down like this:

60' = 2.187
1/8 = 9.468 @ 75.22 mph
1/4 = 14.769 @ 88.44 mph

Best mph:

60' = 2.176
1/8 = 9.532 @ 74.79 mph
1/4 = 14.834 @ 92.57 mph

Can't figure out why that one had a better 60' but worse et.

Weather on 14.769 run was 86 degrees, 79% humidity, baro 30.01
A that last run it cooled off a little to 82, humidity 94%, baro 30.02

Most of the guys were running slow tonight due to weather. One bone stock 2002 LS1 TransAm was only running 14.2s. They are 13 second cars almost anytime. He said in cooler weather he ran a 13.7? With 60 degrees and 50% humidity I would have ran a 14.51 @ 94.67 mph.

Too bad the scales were not working tonight. I would like to have seen what my race weight was. Next time...

mtrai760,

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with the times but this wheel hop is a bit of a problem. Have you had yours to the track. Do the 97s have wheel hop?
