Several 1/4 mile runs in 90+ degree weather

I was out at Bradenton Motorsports Park in Bradenton, FL yesterday with oddjob2021 for the Fixxfest event going on. The track was rented out for just Euro's to run so the lines to run werent as long as a regular track night. Downfall was that the track was open from 1pm-5:30pm and being in FL it was 90+ degrees out at that time

Well anyway, this was my set-up yesterday:
2007 BMW 335i Sedan 6at
JB3 1.0v (29.2+ tune)
AFE dual cone intake
AA BOV
CP-E Catback
93/100 octane mix
19" CSL reps front/rear
Bald General Tires in the rear

Bradenton was about 60-70 miles from where I live in Tampa. I got there with the caravan at about 12:15. Track opened at 1pm so my car had a 45 min cool down.

1st pass-

Since there were only a few cars in line, I decided to line up and run again... I red-lighted this pass, but BARELY!

After that I figured the times would just keep getting worse so I just parked the car in the show section since I was showing the car there as well

Then at about 5pm I decided to run the car again and see if it would do any better. As I was going to get in line, I got stopped and asked if I wanted to do the Quick 8 for a chance to win $200. I said sure

First pass in the Quick 8-

Second pass in the Quick 8-

I made it to the finals and this is my 3rd pass in the Quick 8 (my retarded self red-lighted or else I would have won $200!!!

)-

Thats all guys..... Oh, here is a pretty cool picture a friend of mine took of me vs. and Audi RS4

I also got to take home this-

Yea, he was on DR's. Judging by both our trap speeds, I believe if I had DR's I would be going mid 12's also....

What happened to you and the RS4??

mmmotornutz · 10-20-2008, 01:55 AM

ETs and Trapspeed shows that a DCI from AFE, BMS, Visnhu or home made perform similar.
