This was the best run:
r/t .668
60' 2.514
1/4 14.749
mph 96.33

The track was SUPER slick because of the 50 degree temp and it was a misting rain! I can't believe they were letting us still run .

I am running the stock 17" all season runflats...1st gear spun all the way :???: .

I ran an e46 M3 on my last run. It was pretty close. He had a 14.430 @ 102.58, I was a 14.848 @ 96.21. Horsepower beat me at the end . He was some shocked though!

Agreed. But, the track was to cold for much bite. It had been raining for several days, so the track hadn't been run in several days. No compound either...
A few of the rwd's got pretty squirlly.


I was breaking way loose as 2nd, and got loose a few times in 3rd.

I added your data here:

What intake, header, and cat-back do you have? Epping must have been DESERTED!

Good to know the Mini can take all that racing in one evening and still hold up Mine should last a million miles on the road

I could have done well over 40 passes, but I figure I would leave well enough alone.
The starter said he thinks I had a track record for number of passes in 3 hours.

I did not break this tranny, or anything else! Yeah!

That was a half tank of 100 octane!

Andy, thanks for adding me. I have alta intake, supersprint header, factory cat (melted) and a Magnaflow exhaust. Nitrous in June, but I will keep that a secret!

Epping only had about 40 cars running. You could literally pull right up to the lights for your next run.

RSX (2) modded
Integra's
Iroc z
Sentra R modded
Many civics
Probe GT (2)
WRX non sti

Bet the guy in the iroc was very dissapointed in his car. He has 3.125 times as much displacement.

Yep, shifting at 90 in a car that only traps at ~95 does suck. On the other hand, it's only dropping revs a little over 1000 rpm on that shift. 3rd and 4th are fairly closely spaced.

Both were s's. Stock RSX Type S = 15.2 1/4 mile. With mod's, generally mid 14's.
He has less hp and more weight than me.

There would be ~zero benefit of airing down the run-flats....

....but, I have a great new rubber undercoating!
