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.
