First Track Run
I took the Audi S4 to the track last wednesday for its first run ever. The track is Orlando Speed World in Bithlo, Florida. I only got in one run due to two cars breaking and leaking fluid. I launched at 2800 RPMs and shifted somewhat easy. Went 13.75 @ 98mph with a 1.91 60ft. Only mods to car is darintake, 710n's, and GIAC on 93 oct. What is a normal time and trap for a chipped K03 car?

**drag strip**
Thats right in line where you should be. If you drive more agressively you could probably shave it down a little.

People always crash or break at that track (Orlandocrashworld). I'm not a big fan of dragracing but like to go every now an then.I ran a 13.8@100 but im in a tip. If you get DP's (downpipes) and exhaust plus some 100oct you will shave a few 0.10's if not be in the 12's. All depends on your driving.

I like the strip too, but it's definitely not a cheap day. Gas for driving there (for those who have to drive a ways to get to a track), gas while racing, and gas back.But you also have the cost of the food you buy, and of course, the risk of breaking down. But hey, I miss the track. I'm sick of snow, and want it to dry up! Damn Minnesota weather

Speaking of 1320' times and such...What RPM do you usually launch at?

I'm probably wrong about this, but I used to launch my DSM from a dig at around 4000-5000, but that was with a stutter box. Then again, Audi's and DSM's are two different worlds. With S4's is 2800-3k the sweet spot off the line?
