2024 MYP at the 1/8 mile ….

[danpass]

The last time (my first time) I was at a dragstrip was 10/24/1998 at Milan Dragway in Milan, Michigan on my Honda CBR600F3 motorcycle (12.939 at 117.82)

Tonight was the second time, at 1/8 mile Immokalee Regional Raceway.

…and?

Dragstrip times aren’t much more than stick measuring contests. And since it’s stock, it has little more to do than keeping your foot stomped at the right time.

More interesting, though not entirely scientific, are the “CarWow” YouTube videos where they compare cars. They have plenty on Tesla vs other cars and even Tesla vs Teslas of various types.

Interesting comparisons but few MYP videos using an actual light tree and I rarely see time slips.

So I did my own video.

Preliminary plan now is to try Bradenton, a 1/4 mile track, about two hours away, with 32 psi.

I also discovered that the Shortcuts in the iPhone has a built in “Start Preconditioning Tesla”. I imagine they get added when the Tesla app is installed.

Otherwise I’ll navigate to a nearby supercharger to keep the battery temp up between runs.
