This was my first time at a 1/4 mile track and I'm definitely goin back. I wasn't prepared at all so I've got room for improvement. 3/4 tank of gas, bald tires, over-inflated tires.
Heres my two best runs: 2nd run 17.352 @ 80.04 R/T .480 60' 2.652 3rd run 17.399 @ 80.02 R/T .084 60' 2.748 The biggest thing was definitely launching, i've practiced launching by listening to the engine and tire chirp, but I couldn't hear **** at the track so I had to just wing it. Gotta practice launching with music blasting or something to get a better feel. I plan on going again this summer if anyones interested in a mini-meet or sumthin. |

Well I normally take off without holding the rpms up and I get really clean launches, but I need to be able to listen to my tires to adjust while launching that way. Last night I just launched from about 1.2-1.5k, I know from experience any higher than that and my tires spin for days
The car in front of me did like 8.5k launch, an s2000 holding at rev limiter. So ridiculous |
