ORIGINAL: Tims 88GT

If its nice, im going to go run the 1/8th tomorrow. Does anyone have any pionters for me? This will be my frist time racing at the track. I ill be using street tires[:@] I want to see how much improvment slicks will make over my streets. So im going to run tomorrow to get a base run. What control arm's is everyone using, or what ones are the best ones I can get?
ok i didn't read through any of the previous but.......

1. get used to the light...try to launch on the last amber and adjust from there. if you get in the .600-.750 range your not bad.
assuming .500 is perfect
2. no burnout w/ street tires and use stock pressure, you will NOT get more traction on street radials w/ lower pressure.
go ahead and quick clean them off, after going AROUND the burn box.
3. launch basically off idle, and ease into it....as soon as you break loose, you killed your 60' which is EVERYTHINGor launch higher idle, and really slip the clutch until your all the way out.
4. try to shift w/ a shift lite, and start to throw your shift about 5200-5300 adjust from there, but by the time you react to a 5200 chip in a shift lite, and actually make the shift, you'll be about 5500 stay consistent, and adjust shift points til your where you need to be.

thats about all i can think of right now.

good luck and have fun (if you haven't gone yet...or post 'em up if you have)
