yea when i fisrt hit the drag strip i had my celica for only a week, and it was completely stock so i ad a number of problems such as DUMPING the clutch, i had to learn how to slip the clutch nd get a god reaction time, after my fourth run i had the clutch slipping down pat but m reaction tme was pretty bad, i came to realize thatif yo go right when you see the second yellow light then u gt a VERY good reaction time, butu rsk thechance of fouling if your car has alot of power and traction, but since my car was stock i was getting good reaction times i ran a best time of 16.50 in the 1/4 but i believe that time could have been lower if i would have tried a little harder, but al N all i loe my celica, it does me well!! p.s. Great Job running your car im not sure what that translates into 1/4....but lemme ask yu a ?...whats the point in the 1/8 ? i never really grasped the concept.. good luck next time!
