19 second 1/4 mile b6t...

[Grey Vw]

I'd like to say sorry for embarrassing the Festiva community I know stock festies have run 17's. It was soo bad the announcer said " I didn't know Ford made handicap vehicles"!.

It was my first time ever at the track and probably my worst too. My first run was the 17 sec one at 88 mph and the second was like 19 something at 66mph... I was unfortunately born without the driver mod. I lost the 19 sec slip.

Reasons I went so slow.
1) Really bad camber, my lower control arm bolt wasn't even in:banghead:
2) I had a 2-3 inch tire contact patch
3) My tires rub so I didn't know if I was spinning or just rubbing so I shifted really early
4) Also the tires are dry rotted but it doesn't really matter with the bad contact patch
5) I suck at driving, I don't think I ever rev'd out 1st and 2nd to 6,500 rpm because I was spinning or thought I was spinning lol

I'm going to get an alignment asap and my other set of dry rotted tires on. Heres the slip and the tire carnage.





I doubt anyone has failed more at the track then me. Please feel free to have a laugh at my expense.

lol that's one of the funniest things I've heard! I'm sure you made grey vw feel a bit better too...and to grey vw, not quite sure what you had in mind when you brought it to the track in that shape...but get it fixed up, work on your shifting, and show them Festiva's aren't handicap eh!

[bhazard]

Yeah dude you shouldn't even be at the track or even on the road with that thing
You're just begging to wreck it...

[fastivaB6TG25MR]

that sucks... i couldnt get below a 13.3 @108... the track is super slippery... best 60' of the night was a 2.289 ill have to roll out to infineon to show the trash talkin announcer whats up...lol

if it makes you feel better wyld kardz dsm shattered its tranny last night in the middle 2nd or 3rd (its auto) and he ran a 13.5 @ 31mph... he was so mad cause he ran the 8th fast enough for a 9.90 pass...

heres a normal pass for him...

I can't believe what I did wrong, I'm a joke. I installed my camber bolts backwards( I added more negative camber instead of positive)... I installed them correctly now and I just need to give it a little more positive camber then i'm taking it to get professionally aligned. I'm excited to go to the track now and show people what the festy can do.

And yes, taking it to the track like that was a very very bad idea.

^ :shock:

Judging by that tire and your 3.09 second 60 ft time, you choked out everyone in the stands with tire smoke, huh?

[bobbyspider]

dont feel bad bro i havent even finished my car yet at least you got your swap done and i havent even ever been to the track with my b6 and its been done for a year now

[DrMaxwellEdison]

the last time I saw tires like that they were in the bed of my friend's 82 Datsun king Cab

mad props for going out to the track !!!!!!! i know your a young dude and actually getting to the track makes you infinity million times a better driver than your typical internet racer tool bag...

anyone on here that has actually raced on a track in any shape or form knows its quite the learning curve to tackle, and it never ends regarding car prep and driving.

Honestly I can't believe it passed tech.

Were the tires shooting sparks?
