The 2nd pass looks pretty good. Don't worry about reaction time. Your ET does not start to record until the car moves. Get some DR's and work on your 60' foot time.

Thats a good trap on the second run.

Drag racing is a hoot ain't it?

Not bad at all for the first time on street tires

lyncoo · 10-05-2009, 05:01 PM

not bad at all

BoostinAMopar · 10-05-2009, 06:58 PM

practice youll get better... get some solid mounts tho man... they'll save you a ton a money.

Turbolag87 · 10-05-2009, 07:12 PM

Not bad for a first timer

My first pass in my car i ran 14.4@101 BONE stock and man was it tricky leaving on radials. Get some mounts or you will break something on radials... Car will bounce and break ur tranny.

you suck!!!

jk, nice run, i still have yet to hit the strip

Tiger Wu · 10-31-2009, 10:14 AM

Big difference between the 2 runs. Nice

cbanko · 11-05-2009, 12:24 PM

looks like you redeemed yourself on the 2nd run, nice job! a set of DR's will get you into the 13's no problem, up that boost a lil bit n you'll be well into the 13's!

bluebeast · 11-08-2009, 10:01 AM

Way to get out there. Everyone has a ruff time the first trip to the track. Get that sixty down and you.ll be mid 13s no problem. Just gotta learn how to ride out that clutch a little better.

steve811248 · 11-09-2009, 05:04 PM

thanks for all the positive advice. Got back out last wensday and ran a 13.047 at 104.76 with a that popped off half way down the track. Idk what it was but i lost power brakes. pretty scary when your goin 100+ with only a 1/8 mile to stop

Tiger Wu · 11-09-2009, 06:13 PM

vac line under manifold. Ziptie lines when you get a chance. You dropped a whole sec? post slip please
