Have fun... don't expect to set any records your first time out.


I back into the box. Rev to 3 k spin the tires roll out of the box then dump the clutch in 2 nd gear until I see smoke in my side mirrors...( I norm just do one really good burnout and tires just need little ones after that.)

First two times I went to the track I ran 12.5's with a 1.9 60 ft... 3rd and 4th times I started to get the gag of launching and since then. Its been constant low 11's.... so don't get to worried about ur times. Just work on ur launches and fast shifting....

In general, the 4400 feet of altitude will add around .5 seconds to your ET. So that may give you some idea of how the ETs compare to what you hear other guys running. Once you get your ETs, you can punch the data into a DA converter to see how you would have run at sea level. The DA site will allow you to look up the DA at the track within 30 minutes of when you ran, so you can punch that DA into the converter to get an exact calculation.

GOOD LUCK and remember to just have fun!!!
