I ran a 14.775 at 98.xx MPH in the turbo challenge car....pretty crappy. Hopefully with (another) new clutch, working 4th gear, better launch, and wider rubber, I can get it down to the low 13's/high 12's where it should be.
Ok. Not too bad.
My first run was a 14.731 @ 90.84. I was soooooo nervous. I had a great launch, no hardcore spinning.
My second run was horrible at launch. I got my tires a little wet on accident, spun and almost hit the chicane/barrier. I ended up getting a 14.690 @ 97.40.
With that 98 being your trap speed, you can definitely get it down.

Yeah, this is the second time I've every drag raced. I don't feel at home there, heh. I need to take my boost up to 13-14ish and see what happens there. I'm currently at 8 on the stock ECU which is soon to be replaced by a MegaSquirt.

Haha, yesterday was my first time EVER. I really enjoyed it. I complain all the time that a Miata isn't made to drag, but crap, it's so fun. I ran on 11psi which is way lower than what I usually run but I didn't want to risk blowing things up since I haven't been tuned it properly after I installed the downpipe.
I have to say I was seriously about to pee myself when I got up to the line. I raced a friend of mine in his P5 and he kept me calm.
Hi all! I will be picking up my new addition next weekend(I hope) It is a '95 M-edition with 61,000 miles. Very nice condition, well maintained, and a very nice seller. Already have an '02 Protege5, so this will make a nice addition to the family. I fear I might be turning into a mazdaholic(drive2)
