My results from drag racing last night
I went drag racing at Raceway Park last night for the first time with the RS4 and only my second time ever. I ended up running a 13.5 @ 103mph as my best run which was also my first. I was able to get my 60' down to 1.9s for the later runs but I miss shifted into 3rd gear both times and ended up with slower runs. I put 4 gallons of Sunoco GT100 in the car just when the gas light came on and I don't think the car adjusted to it until I was nearly back home.
I think the first run I launched at around 3000-4000 rpm, it all happened so fast I'm not 100% sure. The later runs I launched at around 4500rpm. The car never bogged down but I never got the tires to chirp and just take off like I have on the street with 5500 rpm launches.
I'll have to go back later this year and try to get a good launch and good shifts all in the same run.
Here's a link to a youtube video of my best run.<ul><li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsVN7WP__PY">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsVN7WP__PY</a</li></ul>

...did you say 5,500 r launches cuz if you do this, well..... :>|
RS4 ain't bulletproof and if the tires aren't slipping off the line, something else is.....

I think you can gain a bit on the launch, 1.7-1.8 should be possible which will pick up a few tenths
at the end.
103 mph is a bit weak on the trap speed, was it hot and humid out?

Times seem very low. I ran my A4 at Raceway Park today and here are the results.
R/T .133
60' 2.160
330' 5.971
1/8 9.071
MPH 79.84
1000 11.694
1/4 13.893
MPH 101.33
On 93 Octane with a 3k Launch. First time at the track. All i have done to the A4 is Chip/Exhaust/CAI/FMIC. 2500 in performance. My dad ran the RS4 at Raceway park last year and ran a 12.8@109MPH with a 1.7 60' on 93 so you have alot of room for improvement. I hope you had as much fun as me.

Just had an Audi tech confirm I have the faulty fuel pressure sensor...
Confirming the dead spot I was feeling was real. Hopefully a month from now with a fully functioning car and some practice I can get down to around 13s.
