Finding the Right Line

[Nerd49]

At Victorville the sport compoacts were doing 19.25 ish last year and the mini stocks did a few 18.75s laps. I didn't time any this year. Late models do 14.5 Non winged sprints do about 13s when they behave themselves. Street stocks do 18.5 to 18.12. IMCA mods have done as fast as 16.6 and Sport mods have done 16.9. All Amercans (bombers, hobby stock) have done 18.9s.

Nerd..you have all the answers,you should start a web service and get rich...lol. Thanx,gives me a number to shoot for though if I get to hot lap it between classes for a little test and tune. I know the bottom is the shortest yet slowest mph average and the top is longest yet fastest mph in theory. For a fwd should I try to stay on the bottom on entry and drift to the top on exit? I have thought of entering mid to hi line and trying to just ride it out too if traction permits. I hot lapped a few hobby's and a open wheel mod once just for kicks. The hobby just kicks out the tail if hard in the gas and drifts,the mod was some getting used to when the rear transitions and that front trys to raise up bout crapped my pants cause I thought I was going to crash it and get beat to death....fun though.

hey kids love race cars, my youngest nephew is around 3 and he loves going, so does my older nephew and then my niece which is the oldest. your kid would love to go, im sure, i think kids get scared of fireworks because they dont know what it is yet, and cant see them till the boom, but a car they should be good with. i know you dont need me to tell you this but nerd knows her stuff.

Sure hope so. Thinking of getting him a kart next year,5hp deal to see how he likes it and if he has interests in racing. Something to keep him out of trouble and busy.

[speedyw]

Go cart...love to see him in a legends car or a midget though at an older age. He is good at mario kart and Gran Turismo...lol
