Here are some highlights from our drag racing event at Los Angeles County Raceway.

Grab 'em HERE.

Wow nice video. Damn that Geo metro was crazy...

lol

 

Thanks. Crazy Metro indeed.

btw ... the times at LACR is closer to a full second slower compare to a good track at sea level.

I could tell...

 

Thanks for posting. It's great to see some rides in action.

Thanks for the video, It looked like you guys had a blast.....
If what you say taking a second off your times would be more realistic due to the elevation, you all did pretty well.....

I shot some video of the Atco meet we had out here in the north east in april, but due to my crappy skills, I didn't get the traps in the shots, so I never hosted the video.....

I was about to say.... Those were some pathetic times. But since you kinda cleared it up, not so bad.

 

LMAO! that mini bike @ the end was priceless. It looks like he almost lost control on the launch. Good Vid.

AFitchTLS,
Yup, if those were sea-level time at a known good track ... we'd all shoot ourselves or drive off the cliffs Here's a little more background for you regarding LACR:

Among other factors, the elevation of the track is 3000ft+. The correction factor for altitude is 3%. However, I've long suspected the 3% is not enough to compensate for the other factors at LACR, as I've gotten far better times at other tracks and closer to sea level. So, Gurgen and I did some G-tech experiements at LACR. The numbers it provided were virtually dead-on with the time slips given, thus validating the G-tech as a good measuring device. This sucker was surprisingly accurate right down to the 60' time, all other interval times, ET, and even trap speed! Needless to say, I'm now a huge fan of the G-Tech Competition Pro, provided it is properly calibrated and operated on a completely FLAT surface. I'm not however as confident with the 1st generation G-tech (non Compeition Pro version).

We also performed some experiments closer to sea level. I managed high 13.9x, while Gurgen pulled 13.0x w. his TT. From the two experiments, we've deducted it is within reason to take away 1 full second from the LACR times (or 0.8s if you choose to be very conservative).

Having said that, I've made the following observations from the many times we've gone to LACR.

Average standing 1/4-mile time:
stock AT sedan: ~15.6
stock 6mt sedan: ~15.3
stock AT coupe: ~15.1
stock 6mt coupe: ~15.0
Subtract 1s from the above times provide fairly realistic outcomes that's close to published numbers.

The night the video was shot, I established my personal best at LACR (after the addition of the Intake Plenum) at 14.8x or about 0.1 second faster than my pre-plenum times. Estimated 13.8x normalized time ... I was elated. Gurgen, on the other hand, pulled a 13.9x (LACR time) ... which figured to 12.9s when normalized. That is wonderful ... could only imagine his time once he's ready to up the boost from 4.3psi!!!

Yup, gurgen's car is gonna be crazy at close to 8 lbs of boost! THX your car is no slouch either, a 13.8-9 is crazy man.. Car looks great , again!! Martin

G35fanatic, i wanna drag race also :/
