Build a 347 real quick! Throw on some No2! Or prepare yourself for 14.9 passes.

i ran a 14.6 last night my first time ever going down the track

i cut 2.1 '60 ft launching at idle on street tires i got for free, and that was spinning into 2nd

i set my AGX's to the firmest setting, set tire pressure to 28 psi

i didnt do a burnout my first run (which was the 14.6) but on my second run i did one, and i tried foot braking it but i spun even worse and ended up with a high 2.5 '60ft and ran 15.3 @ 96 mph. track prep could have been better and humidity was like 80%... my goal is low 14s next time

Whether or not you "get smoked" is gonna depend on what your lined up against, if you consider yourself to be racing them. At the track I'm racing myself, and the clock. The guy in the other lane is good for comparison, but it's not a race unless you line up against someone specifically to see who has the faster car. The last time I went to the track I stomped 3 outta 4 of the carsI lined up against(if you wanna consider me to have been racing against them), the 4th one stomped me(street tire class), *shrug*, that's the way it goes. There's always someone slower and there's always someone faster
