Orlando Speedworld - 3-12-08

explor4u · 03-13-2008, 01:03 PM

This is my first time @ the track with the XPT stage 2 map and they kicked me out after this run because I didn't have a helmet

. The car felt strong all the way to redline, but what else I need to improve to get into the 12's?

BTW I really like this map. My personal best was 13.4 @ 100.26 with the cobb stage 2 map. I know the driver needs to improve and I am working on it.

any advice?

Times look good, 60 foot is good, mph is good enough for a 12.8
keep trying you'll get there

edit How strict are they about helmets? and its a under 13.99 rule right?

If it doesn't rain I'll be there this Wednesday too. Let's get some STIs to OSW to Rock the house.

Yes you need a Helmet if you do better than 13.99. probably if you stay in the upper 13's they probably won't say much, but if you are deep into the 13's then yes.

I just got my helmet and will be trying to go into the 12's this time.

See you guys there!!

There's where I need more practice, fast shifting. I don't do power shift in fear of missing a gear and over rev the engine, but with more practice I can improve my shifting. The other thing I need to work on is the shift points. Right now I am redlining every single gear and I think I should be shifting earlier based on the graphics (dyno graphics) I see from other cars; our stock turbos die after 6000 rpms.

I hope I can write about personal best time next time I post. I will be happy with just 12.9, for now!.
