Default RE: finally made it to the track.

why was i running 14's on nitrous? i'll tell you how. It my first time ever at the dragstrip, the track was not prepped very well, about a 2.4 60 ft on 18" wheels (total of 40lbs heavier than stock 17's) with street tires, and a zex 75 shot with a cold bottle(which ends up to being less than a 50 shot of NX). And for the record it was 14.1. Sorry, not everyone runs a Car and Driver 14.1 stock.

Good runs.

I hope you guys realize that these passes were made at the fastest track in the nation, maybe even in the world. He alse had great 60 ft times, which is why he's able to make those low ETs with low trap speeds. Not trying to take away any glory, but damnit I want to make some passes there now.

what kind of tires/wheels? were you running? what was the track temp? what brand and size of nitrous were you running? you have a couple, I have a vert, theres a couple hundred pounds. did you have gears? how many times have you been to the track in ANY car? did you have any suspension mods?

fwiw that was the only time i've used the nitrous at the track. I was testing it out, and since then I have run faster without it.

pictures answer some of the questions, it was a normal day here not one of the good negative DA days we get sometimes... my rear end has stock gears in it, but the rear is out of an 04 cobra, this is the second time racing my car at the track last time it was bolt ons doing 13.2 at 106.... this is the first time every spraying at the track, second time in my life ever using nitrous period....

tracks are not magic, houston just has alot of cars setup well... most of the normal everyday people that come out dont do any better than they would anywhere else... there was a turbo 3v that couldnt do better than a high 12 at 114, a slp camaro that couldnt do better than a 13.0 at 110 with a 75 shot, cammed c6 vette that was doind low to mid 12s at 114.... and i have seen numerous 2vs running in the 14s, 15s, and low low 13s with huge huge shots..You cant just go to a track and have it magically make you run a second faster... I wish you could come out here i bet your times would still suck bawlz.
