Rockingham Drag Way is somewhere around 250' above sea level and typically has fairly decent track prep. Show up as soon as the gates open because the air temps will be the lowest of the day, and the car will make its best power at that time.

Pay close attention to your trap speeds in each lane down there because I have seen around 3mph difference in traps between the right and left lanes. The left lane tends to show low trap speeds.

Depending upon what tires you are running, I would guess high 13's would be about what you should expect.

GOOD LUCK!

I agree with the 13.7 @ 102 guess.

Of course, the car is capable of twelves with minor tire & suspension upgrades.

(I can help with the suspension, at UPR)

Anyway, just ease it off the line and try not to spin the tires on the start. It helps if you slip the clutch a little.

Most importantly, HAVE FUN!! The good elapsed times will come with practice.
