Default First Drag Run

Oh man did my first run last night ever at the track. Most exciting thing ever lol im hooked now. i only did one run because i got there late and track had issues with tranny leak on it. But for my first run a 14.7 with spare,jack, and rear seat, and street tires isnt that bad in my mind.

That's awesome man. I had my first run on the track a few weeks ago and it is addicting! You will only improve from there. What was your trap and 60 foot?

Well...with gears and exhaust and a decent tune....I dont see high 13 or better a prob...oh and a set of slicks (for track only)....would help........I'm still having traction issues ...went today myself....Drag radials and still spinning horribly...with only a 1.87 60....and 12.90@ 110.88...I've got a set of LCA coming and gonna do up the rear soon(31 spine)..and need a stronger clutch....the cobra HD unit is startin to slip abit...
