If anyone plans on being close, come on down!

Dragstrip

I also got me a new toy that I plan to put to use going down the track.

Contour | GPS Video Camera and HD Helmet Camera

 

Nice. I just got a GoPro but its still in the mail so I'll have a toy like that to play with also. Looks like there will be some nice STR videos coming out soon.

 

Ya with the price point I couldn't pass it up!

 

Ok, sway bar disconnected, everything that isn't bolted down to the car (almost thought about pulling passenger seat) is out, now I just have to wait for the track to open. Currently 32 out and sunny. High is 65 today, so if I screw this up it is only my fault.

 

Best time was a 13.3 with a 1.9 60'. I am uploading some vids.

 

13.3? In regular or sport mode? Rear tire pressure?Not bad. Though an STR has more hp and trq. than a 12.9 sec. 1/4 2003 5.0 litre BMW M5, an STR's 2.88 rear gear neccesitates a pair of hi-flow cats to hit 12.9 in the 1/4. Continue to improve your launch technique...Leave with a slight roll then a quick but gradual depression of gas pedal. 1320STR suggests normal trans. mode for runs? Though I'll likely be lambasted for what I write... My 03 STR def. dips in to the mid 12"s in cool temps. I laid rubber for nearly 250 ft. in 45 degree temps...and only laid off to avoid missing my road.

 

Sport mode on
Rear PSI 27
Front PSI 40
~55 degrees out
no cool down (drove from my house to the strip, teched, then got in line)

With that I cut a 1.977 60'


First (and best) run

This was my last run of the day

If you didn't already do this, bring a cooler with a couple bags of ice to cool her down before runs...1320 did this...

 

Freakin cool Mike. Thanks.
