Hot Lap Fun - Wearing 'em out!

Paradigm Shift · 07-13-2017, 07:14 PM

Whether it's Test n Tune, Grudge Racing or time only runs, tracks are normally incredibly crowded these days and we sit and wait for what seems like hours to make a pass or two.

Having said that, let's discuss another scenario when things may have been a bit different. Maybe an opener or a cold night prior to the track shutting down for the season.

Let's see who has the CR record for most runs in one day/night!

I remember one very cold October and the racing was basically a loop. I'll count my slips.

Working at speedworld we always brought up the kid on street car night with a 16 second car that made 28 passes on a cold Friday night.

I made 33 passes in my 67 Chevelle on a Friday night a few years ago. ~25 was a regular Friday night for me.

Last year I was doing some testing on the cooling system on my newest Stocker.

In a 36 hour span I made 34 passes with the car.

On the closed hood cool down test session, I made 6 passes in 59 minutes. The span of those 6 passes from slowest e.t. to quickest e.t. was .04 seconds within that span of time. It was 90 degrees that day.
