Yesterday our tracks opened up here for the first time of the season, so this morning I'm heading out to the closest one!
They are getting light snow out that way right now though, but it's only supposed to be a trace, then it is going to clear up. But it will be very cold and windy today, high of only 32F with 40mph wind gusts! Traction will be poor, but my nearly stock 95 Firebird Formula shouldn't have a problem with traction. I'll be showing up with a full tank of gas just in case though.
I expect to run about 13.55 to 13.59 at 101 today. My previous best is 13.68 at 100.4. My car is bone stock except for an SLP exhaust. It's an automatic with 3.23 rear axle ratio and I'm running Goodyear F1 GS D3 tires. I can launch off idle and immediately go full throttle with these tires.
I'll post here later in the day to report how it went! I love it when our tracks finally open after the long winter!
