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.

if crossing the line just about @ redline... it may or may not be beneficial to have shifted earlier. The extra power available may be negated by the time it takes to shift, but in the crap for top end 5sfe I'd say it would probably be worth shifting.

16's are really just a decent launch away.

To the OP, what mods do you have done, and do you know the approx weight of your car?
