RE: Going to the track
So at prestage, the first set of lights flash and full stage both do and you're off, right?
When you're set to go do you rev the car to 2,500 RPMs with the clutch half engaged and the brake on, similar to doing a powerbrake, except the clutch isn't completely out, and once you're off, you slip the clutch and take your foot off the brake?
I wasn't sure if you just rev'd the car and slipped the clutch, with no brake on, or loaded it up like a power brake, except you're not sitting still spinning the tires.
I'm sure I didn't explain this clearly, so let me know if you're all sitting there scratching your heads.
BTW-What time are you going tonight?

RE: Going to the track
dude if you wanna chew some azz
get your fuel out the tank, install 2 gallons of 100 octaneracing fuel and swap over to a 9psi pullie and bump the timing up to 12degrees.
drop your rear tire pressures to 20psi. Id remove the hood
screw slicks, use a can of rubberized undercoating, youll hook and run a low numbers
thats a $65 improvement and a full 1.0 second drop/
