I go flat out from snake to just before the entrance of the esses. a slight lift to settle the front, enter the first of esses (left hander) then a brake tap to scrub a touch of speed, then throttle to top exiting the esses before the pucker moment we like to call southbend

ps. I have no idea what my speed is. now that I have a traqmate system I will be able to get that data

warp speed dell you are at warp speed

LVDell

I knew there was a name for it. Thanks Matt!

Does that mean you are a super warp speed?

All you guys are S I C K !!!

I'm lucky to hit 130 at the end of the back straight...and that's with my foot to the flooor for 10 to 15 seconds...

My traqmate says I'm 109 - 110 at the enterance to the esses but I "feather" the throttle and end up scrubbing off speed and exit at about 95.

I need one of you fast guys to please give me a ride at the next event (seriously) to convince my mind that I would not be violating the laws of physics by keeping my foot in it more.

My car is pretty well set up ( at least I think it is) so I'll bet it probably the driver...

BTW the off I had between the esses and 10 was just confirmed by my mechanic...water pump. Of course I had anitfreeze and slid like I was on baby s$#t. (Dell you'll find out just how slippery it is shortly).

How many of you just run water (w/ or w/o water wetter) and what do you do in the winter???

Sorry for the hijack but since it's my thread...

He is talking about baby poop dude.

I can't run antifreeze with NASA*. Around March I drain the coolant and refill with distilled water and a bottle of water wetter. When it starts to get cold again I drain some water and top off with straight antifreeze. For my garage kept car I don't need a huge amount of antifreeze to get protection well below expected temperatures. I don't track it in December or January.

* - exceptions usually given if temperature is likely to be below freezing overnight (like at VIR in February for example or Summit Point in November).

Damn I'm slow. Just got that one

i run some anti freeze but mosty water with water wettr in the summer
i thought with water wetter and water car will run cooler maybe am wrong???

Anti-freeze doesn't transfer the heat as well as straight water and is slippery as Eddie found out.

Slippery doesn't begin to describe it !!

My traqmate said I was going 93 when I spun sideways and went off the track before I could even realize that something had happened.

I like the idea of running water (w/ wetter) and adding some antifreeze for the colder months.

I don't want to do that again
