Well to sum it up, it was pretty disappointing. Although the chip raised my end speed by over 2 mph (To what seems to be a normal time for a mk8) my time didn't decrease. My best time before was a 15.12@92.4 Now it was 15.18@94.8. My first run was a 15.5 @ 91.3. The track temp was 97 degrees at that time but it must have been much hotter at the track itself, probably over 100. Once it cooled down(4 1/2 hours later) I ran my best time. And I managed to pull a -.001 reaction time (On my 4th run on the track ever)! Then I also had .045 -.175 and .550 reaction times. You have to go right before the 2nd light on my car kind of hard to time it just right. All in all I was pretty disappointed with my runs since I couldn't break into the 14s. And my 60 foot time went down to 2.38 (Best) and 2.57(worst of the night). With my old tires and wheels I ran a 2.225. So maybe it is time for 275s out in the back ::roll:: .
I must also say that I messed up since only the next day did I remember that I ran with OD and TC on (all the time)!!! xo . OH well maybe next time it will be better. CRAIG you better show up !!!
The track had some pretty interesting cars and trucks.
There was the new Dodge SRT 10 truck. It ran a 13.6 stock. There was an E55 AMG that ran a 12.9 with bad traction. My favorite was a lowered and supercharged Chevy Silverado that ran a 14.1 at the track, pretty impressive for a large truck like that.
Also I took pics of Mk7 vs Mk8 (Serge) ! There were 2 mk7s on the track. One was 5spd conversion and I think it ran a best time of 14.9 but I’m not sure. And the other ran a 16.5. Sorry about the pics since I took most of them are my car ::roll:: .
