So, went to the drag strip today. Two interesting things to share...
The *big* thing is the let me full runs, not needing to lift off to keep it over 10s and under 150 mph. The rules ar so new, everyone is not up to speed, but we got there early and politely pressed the issues during the tech check--the guy was kind enough to head to the office to check and voila, we were golden. It was a lot more fun being able to open up, but also be prepared for a bit of hassle. When I got my first time slip, I got yelled at the bit lady in the booth, another call to the office, and I was good to go. I also got my licensing runs in and sent in my application for the new Class 6 Street Legal license. (yay)
The second thing is my car did better than expected. Last trip to the drag strip, I did ~9.691s @ 151.11 mph on my 21s + Michelin PS4s. This time, I was on all-seasons (Michelin PSAS4) on 19s and starting at 85% SoC (got busy at work and forgot to top off). To my surprise my best run was 9.473s @ 151.53. I think some of the improvement came from the switch to 19s, but I would thing some of that would be offset by the lower SoC and the all season tires (ambient temp was ~80F). I'd be curious what other folks think. The video is here
(Dragy was showing a bit slower than the track timing for some reason).
