1ST TIME TRACK NUMBERS!!!

RE: 1ST TIME TRACK NUMBERS!!!
Nice run down the strip for the first time. Avg times for 99-04 GT's with 5spd are between 14.1-14.3, so your doing pretty good for yourself, but get that 60' down to about 2.0x or so, and you might hit 13's. Good luck

Anyways, good times for your first time out. My first time out i pulled a 14.5 bone stock, and it was about 45 degrees out.

Feathering the clutch is a racey way to say riding the clutch. You don't want to fully engage it out of a drop or you will just burn the tires, its hard to expalin but I guess you just do a slight drop, and ride the clutch half way in or so until you get going enough for the tires to hook up. Sure its bad on the pressure plate and disk and all, but you gotta pay to play and if you want to do a nice launch at the strip its almost a "have to do".
You dont really need to burnout on street tires to get them track preped. A small scuff to loosen the gravel and dirt on them will do fine, otherwise you'll just be wasting valuable road tread. Avoid the water box, drive around it, do a small clutch pop burn-out and then stage.

that's what I was thinking, I was expecting the wheels up in the air.Mitch what did you car run on that pass? BTW a 1.3 would be sick as hell. Here's what a 1.1 looks like when it's powered by batteries. http://www.killacycle.com/

Thats amazing getting a 1.51 concidering I saw the back end sway out and spin a good bit. Have you ever done a full hook launch without having the rear break loose?
