Thanks for the insight Steve E. more technical than most needed  but I did learn something in that. Most of it I was aware of but common folk just think its all black magic anyway haha, or that there's some sort of easy button and fixed. |

Was the surface at CMP coming off the starting line really that low grip or was it my tires? I'm buying new tires anyway because I've decided it's just too painful to change tires at the track (I was the last one out of the track on Monday afternoon) and there's so little tread left that I don't want to take the chance that it might rain while I'm driving on the highway. My 0-60 mph and 60 foot times based on data from a VBOX Sport 20Hz GPS were not very good. I had to feather the throttle in second gear on the run to the first turn to keep the wheels from spinning. I don't remember having to do that before with these tires.
Ignoring my second run when I didn't spray the tires and they really didn't have any traction, my 60 foot(1 foot rollout) and 0-60 times were:
2.34 5.61
2.37 5.79
2.43 6.17
I forgot to mention that my car is a 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 and is supposed to be capable of 0-60 in less than 5 seconds on OEM tires.

I just did what Joe did and ran a stop watch against my video. Ballpark is a mid 72 sec. runs. Didn't think much of it until I saw 112 sec. I know I'm not super quick but I'm not THAT slow. No biggie. Still had a lot fun.

No biggie. Still had a lot fun. Gregg posted a video of his best runs and it appears that he was between 70.5 and 71.0, so it looks like we have some catching up to do Steve. I was feeling pretty good about my runs until I saw his video. Whew! |

Ah, I didn't think to compare the time after the drag start. That does make me feel a little better.  Still, once you figure out how to get some camber up front, I think we will really be in trouble. |

I've been glancing through the group 1 results to see what I can do.. Still am.... If we had a constant release time I could say take 30 seconds from everyone's run.. But we didn't depending what was going on on the course, a slower car, me hitting 7+ cones, cars stalling etc..., it could range from a 20 second release to a 40 second release... This was my 3rd event here and first one actually getting to drive I almost didn't with the issues ( thanks mike for making me). I thought the times in 1st group were odd but it wasn't till I saw what 2nd group was running that hey something messed up.... I'm meeting with mike tonight probably to go through stuff and will have some type of results posted as soon as I can... Sorry I'm not my usual fast self every muscle in my body hurts. Thanks... I didn't notice the 10-25 date... just added it ! Appreciate you guys... |

Did anyone get any pictures from the event? I could have sworn I saw a photographer by T1 when I was running.

Well if we just adjust his camber when he's not looking things may come back to a level field.  . |

Here are the videos from Torque Monster. Got 3 Marske runs and 1 of my runs.
Marske's 66.5 +1, before the tires gave out to the heat from the CMP surface.
Marske's 67.5 clean
Marske's 67.5 version 2, consistant isn't he.
My 68.0 as heat gets better of the ZII's in turn 14
