RE: First time at the track
Good tips, I'll definitely give them a shot. DAMN TCS!!!!! I'm willing to bet it was on every damn time Except maybe the 1st one)!! I turned it off when we lined up initially, but they kept stopping the line and I know I shut the car off!!! [:@]
How embarassing!!!!!

RE: First time at the track
Thanks guys.....my wifes cousin actually raced the car. It was the first time he raced that car. He goes there almost every week in his 67 Camaro. He was running 10.04 all night in that Camaro. I had about 3/4 tank of gas, I emptied the trunk except for the spare which I should have taken out but didn't think about. The tire pressure was at 25 lbs for the first 3 runs and set it at 20 lbs on the last run. The tires still spun on take off and into 2nd gear.
He was leaving as soon as the last yellow light lit up. When he lines up, he hits the prestage first then inches up to where he just trips the stage light. That gives you about 7 1/4 inches to the red light beam. By the time you react to that last yellow light and the car reacts, you can get a .000 reaction time. He got a .000 and .001 reaction time in his Camaro but he knows that car. And yes, DO NOT look at the other guy, pay attention to your tree.
Here is a spreadsheet of all the runs in my car. You can use that for comparison so you can seethe reaction times, distance and speed.
