Here's a quick video of the A3's first time at the drag strip. Nate and I headed up to Sacramento Raceway the night before Thanksgiving to meet up with the guys from NorCal Audi Club and JHM. The A3 had just returned from the Tuner GP in SoCal the day before, and we decided to run it.
Traffic on the way up was a nightmare, and the strip was packed, so we could only get three runs in by 10:00 PM. Boost was lowered to 20 PSI, no launch control was used, and Nate rolled into the starts to make sure we didn't break any axles. This was the second run of the night, and the quickest ET. The 11.7 run had a 1.92 second 60 foot time from rolling into it, and the car should be capable of 1.6 second 60 foot times with some very basic setup.
On the next run, the car spun through second, but still trapped 120. We'll head back soon with better tires, more boost, and launch control. :)
