Took Thor to ATCO Raceway and Crushed some ICE

[NewTMSMan]

Took my P100D (Thor) to ATCO Raceway for an EV Event. People brought a Model 3 Performance, a Roadster and 2 P85Ds and we ran against other street cars and each other. Crushed a Hemi Charger and a Camaro SS that agreed to run against me. I used Max Battery Mode, but did not use Launch Control:

Nice! I've been thinking about going down there. Wish I had heard about the event. Did they make you wear a firesuit?

Event was set up by South Jersey Tesla Owners Group (on FB) and put together by @ViviV . Her and her husband had the M3P and the Roadster. I am sure we will go again so you might want to join that FB group to stay in the loop.

Regarding track requirements, if you run <14s you need a Snell 2010 or 2015 helmet and that's it. So every Tesla needs a Snell helmet basically. The track has rentals if you do not have a helmet. No fire suit or other requirements.

It only cost $25 and we were basically just participating in their Test & Tune, which is street cars.

Race of P3D+ against a Mustang 5.0 was close, but P3D+ won in the end (P3D+ was driven by Peter, reaction time 0.100).

Best overall time for P3D+ was 11.809 sec @ 114.10 mph for the quarter mile track. This was driven by me with reaction time 0.119.

2010 Roadster Sport's best time was 12.938 sec @ 102.26 mph (driven by me)

I know this thread is a couple months old now, but we are planning on taking our model 3 performance to Atco raceway on Saturday for the "test n tune" if anyone is interested.

Would love to go, but a little cold for the track, no?

I was thinking of going this Friday. With my P3D- if anyone is interested. I’m assuming they don’t have chargers onsite. Closest SC is Paulsboro I think.

The new Supercharger in Marlton NJ is probably closest now, only about 13 miles away.

I would go, but am in Europe this week. Good luck and post back results.

They have 2 NEMA 14-50 chargers on site. Whether they will let you use them is another question. I used them in March when we had the Electric Drag Race day, but it was not yet full open season then.

reaction times don't impact ET.

Are you quoting ET? Or RT+ET? (the 'times' you posted i.e. 11.809, 12.938 etc)

How did the non performance model3 RWD do?

 

[yerEVan]

Stupid question but I’m assuming when waiting to launch for the time trial or race, you have the car in (H) hold and just keep your foot near the accelerator? Never did this before.
