RE: Track times & Time Slips

This is my First Time at the Track with my Car, Could some one Critique my slips, What could I do to better to get into the high 12's
The track was slick this morning, so I launched at about 1200-1400 RPM any more and I would spin at the way through the 60'
other then that it was a blast, Got some great video too. Temp was about 80 low humid.
Thanks for any help

thats assuming you can pull another 13.3 again . . . you would need 2.5 tenths in the 60 if you consistant 13.4 and 13.5
check my sig. . . 12's ain't easy my friend

Um. . . to get in the 12's, you would have to cut 2 tenths off that 60ft. . . and you will need drag radials for that. . .

Really, I thought that since was my first time Racing that I would get better with practice?

removing spare tires = less weight = higher trap speed but also = less traction . . . thats a toss up
well. . . i will just say this, i was 13.298, added about 12 rwhp and pulled a slightly better 60ft and got a 13.100, approx 2 tenths. . . thats why i say its not easy, i thought about 12 to 15 more wheel would put me at least 3 tenths better, guess again, it might have at 13.8, but not at 13.2,
dropping the time gets exponentially harder the faster you go

I did notice that today, I guy I met was running a V6 with a Turbo and Drag radials, He has been trying for 5 months to get into the high 12's He did it today, 12.93 and then by 11:00am he hit 12.83. in a 2005 V6 amazing.

RE: Track times & Time Slips
Practice and try the method I described earlier about barely staging. Remember that gives you the most rollout and will help your ET. Let the car cool a good while and just practice and you'll get there. Now with good weather and a good track it might be possible with the 103mph, but it's not plausible withoout the increase in traction and reduction of the 60ft.

RE: Track times & Time Slips
Another update for me....Unfortunatley it was my local 1/8th mile track this time. It's still my new best though 60ft and 1/8th ET and mph @ Kanawha Valley Dragway. I bet you can guess I'm the blue one...still on my Pirelli PZeroNero's Now I have to change my signature again....
