If I do make it, it will be at like 3pm. Not sure how busy it gets. Might not be worth it to go

Usually, it's not very busy on week days, but since the drag strip just opened....who knows?

Looks like weather is going to be NICE!!!!!

There was also another stock 335 manual that ran a best of 13.6 I believe.

Yep, my best time was 13.6 @ 104.85 MPH. E90 335i 6MT (bone stock, well except for happy robot face and tint.....)

I made 7 passes, 6 with DTC on, 1 with DSC/DTC off. I spun the tires bad with DSC/DTC off and had a terrible run. This was the head-to-head against SteelTorque, so needless to say, I got smoked, BAD!

Anyway, I'll post up all my times here in a minute....

How'd you do?

13.01 @109 was my best time. I was around the 13.1 area for most of the runs. My best 60' was 2.1. Really couldnt hook up at all. I think I wouldve easily run 12.7-12.8 if I had traction. I also had a full tank of gas because I filled up like a dummy last night.

Yeah, you have to have drag radials at Pacific Raceways. That track is notorious for bad prep.

Next time we should try Bremerton Raceways...one of the guys was telling me that it's actually a slightly faster track due to location and stuff.

The 19's didnt help so much either. I didnt take any air out the tires because I didnt want to damage my $370 a peice tires either. lol

Imagine how bad the track got in the afternoon.

I still think you are better off with the 19's than with the stock wheel/tires. They are soooo heavy. I wish I had lighter rims/tires.

Digital.James · 04-25-2008, 08:33 PM

Actually I think my 19inch setup weighs around the same weight as the stock 18's. CHs arent very light. They are cast wheels.

I also was only running my JBX at @0% because I think Ive been having problems with too much boost. And also had a bad tank of gas.

Honestly Im not that disappointed though. Considering it was my first time drag racing in like 12 years or so. I also beat a 12 sec STI and Evo
