Default First time at the track

Well took my car to the local drag strip for a couple of pases. When i got there i did even let the car cool down made my pass and ran a 13.2 had a lot of tractions issues. I let the car cool down an changed to my track tune ran it again and ran a 12.66 @ 114 and had some traction issues to. Need to get some better tires or set of track shoes. Im also planning on going F/I what do you guys recommend.

it's your first time to the track - why not go a few more times, enjoy and master what you have? don't just throw money at it to reduce your times - wait until you can't really improve your times any further before deciding to go bigger.

You get a lot of time knocked down for the least amount of money by driver improvement. 12.6 for your first go around at the track is pretty good. You will only get better with more practice.

Get yourself to a point of consistency before you start modding to get quicker. If you want the power regardless, go for it, but don't use power to overcome the driver learning curve.

Tossing a SC'r on a 2013 will potentially get you kicked out of most tracks........ie.... when you run 11.49 or faster you'll need a rollbar and most people dont want to cut up their new car. Enjoy your car as it is now.
