Oh, and I'm an m6. I haven't gone back to the track yet.

Pomona is good. Unfortunately I've never ran there. All of my runs were at Fontana. Night racing is nice there. I wish they'd bring it back to Fontana.

I think that's doubtful after the lawsuit. I do remember those days though. I had a lot of cars in the past that I ran there in the night time. Definitely lower DA.

Test and tune days are when you get the best track prep. They usually don't go crazy on street legal nights where most of the cars are running street tires. It's more expensive to run and its a crap shoot as to how many passes you're going to get, but the track is the most consistent for T&T.

In an M6 on street tires you've got to drop the pressure and manipulate the clutch to get a decent pass. I've cut 1.6x 60's on my P-Zeros so it's possible to get a good launch at Fontana, but consistency is a pain when the track keeps changing.

Depends if you've ever been to a strip before.
Launching a manual is much harder than you'd think.
High 11's with a shitty launch. I'd say mid 10's with a driver mod lol
I'm no expert though.

****ing Fast, provided you have drag radials/slicks. On street tires you'll be lucky if you don't hit the barricade.

My guess, 10.8 at 128. Let's see if i'm right.

Lift at the 1/8 or you will be asked to leave Fontana, and they keep a record with your info on it so you can't run until you get your roll bar.

I was low 11's with 590rwhp on CMS's Mustang dyno on street tires. I should be close to 775rwhp by the first part of May.

I'll be in the 4th gen pewter colored ss. Hoping to get 12's.
