Drag Racing last night
Hey guys went down to the local Drag Strip here on Guam and got about 10 time slips. Sorry Mods I have no scanner but I swear these times are legit. The car is bone stock unless you count window tinting a mod lol, but its the automatic w/paddle shifters. I did not use the shifters the whole night, just kept it in DS Mode with VDC off and no launch RPM just floored it when last yellow light lit. Here was the results from my fastest time.
Reaction- .8920
60 ft.- 2.3028
1/8 ET- 9.348
1/8 MPH- 77.44
1/4 ET- 14.3449
1/4 MPH- 99.60
My fastest reaction time was.5419 just got lucky on that one but only put down a 14.417 on that run for some reason. Like my other post on my autoX times, any info or suggestions on how to lower these times would be greatly appreciated. Obviously modding the car would improve times so any suggestions besides what mods to put on would be great. Thanks again.

Guam's Elevation
Not positive on the exact number but on the attached pic from Maps.com. We were at the northern tip of Guam and if I am reading it right, we were at around 10000 feet. Would that make a difference? Not sure of the exact humidity but it was really hot with no wind if that helps. I was actually posting good times compared to some other close to stock cars. My friend has a bone stock 07 WRX and he was putting down 14.7s and some mustang was running 16-17 secs. Most of the cars that were not in the competition were posting in the 15s. I was told by someone at the track, that because of the conditions on Guam you are suppose to take off almost a full sec of your time. Not sure if that is true or not either.

I was actually getting decent traction. I tried to launch it one time at 1K but I got a 14.9 on that run. Another G37 down here I heard has been running about the same times as me and I believe he has an automatica as well. Not sure about where he launches at and his specific 60ft, 1/8mi, and reaction times were. The car took a while too pick up speed but when it got going it kept pulling really wish I could do to help out the bottom end.

and belive me u will do a much better time. pretty sure you can run around 13.9 that way. Only thing is when i turn vdc for quarter mile i find i get no traction and even skid on second gear. Try to keep the brakes like i said before if you did not do it.

Yea I think someone was saying that at the track, that we should take off 1sec from our time due to the conditions. At first I thought that was BS but now I see it makes a world of difference.
Ok if you go next time press the brake rev the engine to around 3 to 4 k and belive me u will do a much better time. pretty sure you can run around 13.9 that way. Only thing is when i turn vdc for quarter mile i find i get no traction and even skid on second gear. Try to keep the brakes like i said before if you did not do it.
Thanks again guys for all the info!
