Went to the Wednesday Evening Fun Drags in Sacramento last night.
There were a total of about 50 cars participating overall. A few muscle cars, including Mustangs (2008 4.6l stock), tuned late model Mustang with the 4 cyl ecoboost, old Chevy Nova, not sure what he was running, made a lot of noise. A couple late model Camaro's. A couple Tesla's (of course) and a number of rice rockets. I was the only Stinger there.
A lot of people were impressed with the Stinger, didn't really know that much about them.
Some history. I went last year, my average ET during the heat of the day was 13.7. I was running 91 octane mixed with some 100 octane race fuel, guess maybe about 94 octane on map 2 on my JB4. Had no other real mods at the time. Had a few timing pulls on the JB4 logs I wasn't happy about. Also seemed that the intercooler got heat soaked on back to back runs, the outside temp was about 97 deg at the time. My best run of the evening, after the outside temp dropped into the 80's was 13.2.
Fast forward to last night. My mods are now BMS intercooler, MBRP exhaust, Lozic TCU, and fuel-it flex fuel sensor so I can know my E mixture, running E30 (my sensor said it was right on E30) by mixing Chevron 91 + Propel E85.
At the start, the air temp was 102, the track temp was 140 so they only ran 1/8 miles. My best was 8.169 ET with a 1.939 60'
After a few runs at 1/8 mile, they said the track temp dropped to 120 and opened it up for 1/4 mile, yay!
My first couple 1/4 mile runs were not as well as I hoped, although I won them all head to head except for a heavily modified Camaro. At first, I was trying to get the feel of feathering the throttle at the lights to get the right boost, was right at 13.0. Still, for an even higher outside airtemp, I was 0.7 S faster than before my mods.
Once I got the throttle at launch correct, even chirping the tires (AWD) on launch, and even back to back with temps at 100, my best time was 12.545 with other runs in the 12.5xx range, a couple at 12.7xx. Time slips attached. My car was number 517. Head to head on the 1/4 mile as far as ET, I won all my runs except one, I think it was a Charger hellcat who spun the tires most of the way down the track.
