First time at track! (1/8)
Ran at the local 1/8 mile strip and here are my times. This is the first time I have taken my car to the track. It was about low to mid 50s
...........Run 1....Run 2......Run 3 R/T.... 1.265....1.099......1.159 60'.... 2.139.... 2.247......2.260 330... 6.248....6.044.......7.044 1/8.... 9.510....9.232.......10.494 MPH.. 75.78.....77.04........72.75 On the 3rd run my car started going sideways on the 2-3 shift. Overall it was a great experience and will go again when the reopen in january If you guys would give me some tips and advice that would be great! Thanx, Jeremy Last edited by TbirdSC93; 12-17-2003 at 07:54 PM..

I can't relate to 1/8 mile times, but your 60' times are decent. What was your launch technique?

First I lauched at like 1000 and then like 1200....I wasnt sure how good of traction I would get being that if I launch like that on the street my tires just start spinnin away. I would like to get more practice at my launches which I think would help times too

Did you lower the air pressure at all? Going down to about 20 psi helps.

Let me know when you're going to bradenton and I'll meet you there. This won't lower your times but try leaving on the 2nd yellow light, this should help those R/T times. Also after you stage your first light inch up to stage your 2nd light, this will help you out of the hole. Good luck.

Well Jeremy I never had he best luck at the track in my SC but hey traction would have helped. My advice is try and try again to get that launch on that next to last light.
