I had fun tonight at the track in my magnum wagon. I definitely have a lot to learn about drag racing before we get our Javelin finished. Anyway, my best run was 14.478 at 97.12 mph. Air temp was 84F and very humid. My 2005 magnum r/t is stone stock and had half a tank of cheap 87 octane fuel.

I played with a few easy things between runs. I learned that I was a little slower with the traction control switched on. I gained nearly .5 mph by removing the air filter element. Auto or manually shifting made no difference; I ran 3 passes back to back at about 14:61 (14.617, 14.613, 14.593) with the 2nd pass being manual shift. So I just left it in drive after that.

Tire pressure is my big question. I dropped rear psi to 25 but it hurt my 60 foots by 15/100ths. What kind of tire pressure do you guys run at the track in your normal all season radials?

Anyway, I had a ball at the track, learned a lot and can't wait to try again soon!
