Thread: 1st time ever to a track....

so last night was my first time ever to a drag strip and it was in Milan Michigan. it was a lot different then just a normal street race...wheni got this car i jacked the signature so ignore that.....my goal was a 13.5 and i got 4 passes in also i am on ****ty street tires...

i have a few videos you guys can laugh at i was dissapointed i did not get my goal like i said though it was first time ever to a track so i guess you could say i was a little nervous. 1st video i just stabbed it for some reason crowd loved it burnout show lol......the guy who tunes my car told me i need work on my launches and need to aim for a 1.8 60 ft time and i should be 13.1s all day...also if we slicked it should be running 12.7s i am going to buy me some drag radials next weekend....let me no what you guys think....how was your first time ever there?

Sweet 100 foot burnout, lol

Great video's, i thinks slicks will help you out a ton.

That regal that you were up against, do you know whats done to that? It looks bad fast.

ya my buddy rebuilt its running a 2.8 pulley with supporting mods also hes spraying

Definetely work on your launch. I've cut a 2.065 on bald street tires so there's alot of improvement to be had. Get that sixty down and you should have your 13.5 on street tires

ya thanks whats best way to work on it just go to track and mess with it?

Keep up the good work man. At least you have the time to get to the track. What are you launching at?

lol idk i just messed with it last night on 2 good runs i was around 2300 i think i couda went a lil more

Honestly I get pretty good results from idle. You just gotta feel it. My cars pretty easy to feel when it's right at the edge of spinning the tires so I can keep it right below that point.

Now that I'm used to the stall in it I launch at around 2500 so I't quicker to get to that point I previously mentioned.

better tires yes, other wise not bad at all for the first time, nice runs

Lol ya the 17.5 is the best

so these runs were with all the mods in sig? with practice and feeling the car out you will get some good times. the most important thing is you had a good time, keep us updated on new times

drag radials tomorrow woot
