So I had the worst night at the dragstrip in my life.I have always had automatics, 2 chevys and a lightning.So, switching to a 5 speed car instead of a auto truck was a little harder then I thought it would be.My car has like 650 miles on it and this was my first time takeing it to the track.Anyways, long story short the car ran 17's 16's 15's and the nights best...a blazing 14.90.I know it's my launch,sometimes I spun bad.Then, sometimes it completly bogged out like it stopped and had to get started again.Sometimes it would do both spin bad then bog out.I dont know guys give me some tips.I had traction off,I gave the tires a slight spin.I missed the water box.Also, let a little air out of the tires.I would hold down the clutch and rev to about 2000 or 2500 rpms.I tried taking the clutch out slowly and dumping.
I am in need of serious help! Tell me what you guys know thanks GOD BLESS

Please post the time slip. Let us know the 60ft, 8th mile, everything so we can break down the run for you. Each part of the slip tells a story.

RE: Bad bad night
Well the only problem with me posting the time slip is, thier blowing in the wind somewhere lol I looked at them and pitched them.Can't remember anything except the 1/4 mile and my 1/8th was terrible like 10.00 or 9.90's.That's awful considering my lightning did 8.30's.
GOD BLESS
