The main thing is I have 275/35/18" Vredestein street tires for the rear on 4.10s. Should I go around the water box and not even rev the car up when I get to the line?

I've never done this before and I'm nervous LOL. I have the same feeling in my gut like I do when it's the first day of class.

Dont worry about your reaction time. Try to get a good launch.... ease on the gas dont mash it. avoid the water box.

For your first pass I would take off like your leaving a stop sign in a hurry.

That's what I was thinking - my first launch being like I'm hauling *** to work because the god damn light turns red. LOL.

yup do that

go around the water box, back up. slightly spin your tires. do a very very mild burnout, just enough to clean the tires, no john force burnouts. and when you launch, dont dump the clutch.

good luck

?? What kind of school do you go to?

I got vredestein and 4.10s and unless the track is well prepped you wont hook, but your best bet is to go around the waterbox and clean the tires off a little.

I'm such a terrible driver. I couldn't break 13s until my very last run which was a 13.8. I'll create a new thread tomorrow with all the details.

Was a lot of fun though.

It's all good man. My first time at the track with my Mach was kinda rough. Almost ended up in the wall when I hit 3rd gear and spun all over the track. Street tires and big gears aren't your friend.

Get some seat time and practice in, I know that car's got 12's in it.

13.8's aren't bad for your first time out, especially considering it was probably warm out.

Good Job matt
