hey i got to the track for the first time today. never realized how nerveracking it would be with people watching and stuff but i eased up after a few runs. i got 5 runs total first time up my reaction time was .505 but my 60' was in the 2.7 range and i wound up with a 13.8@108 second run was a little better 2.5 60' giving me a 13.6@108 third time was better with a 2.3 60' giving me a 13.2@109. the next 2 runs were in the 13.7 range both with 2.4 60's but both grinding third gear so that was a depressing way to end the night. im hoping to pick up some new tires and maybe catback by the time i get back to the track maybe i can run more consistant and i wouldnt mind breaking into the 12's which i dont think is to far fetched. anyway i was happy with my first track experience i made it to the third round of Street Battles (imports vs. domestics @raceway park)
ill get em next time

when the 60ft time drops, the 1/4 mile e.t is effected by a lot. I used to go to the 1/8 mile strips just to practice launching.
try play with the car settings, suspension and tire pressure. try launching at differnt rpm, lots of potential can be relaeased!
