Hey everyone,
Im going to be taking my car to the track soon! Anyone have anypointers? I have been to the track several times to watch just not to race. Also what does everyone think my car will run?

Where at is the track? I would say with your car and your mods probably a 13 flat or so with a decent driver. If you haven't raced at a track before I would say for your first time 14's until you figure out how to launch and keep from spinning.

Sticky tires will help you alot. If not avoid the waterbox and the burnout alltogether. You should be in the low 13's. Your mph will give a pretty good estimate at what your et should be.

yea dont do much of a burnout if any at all. i would just turn the tires over once or twice to clean them off. to much of a burn out on street tires makes them greasy not sticky like a slick or drag radial.

Practice makes perfect.. The more passes the better your reaction time will be and faster E/T ya get. Dont run it so hard ya cant get home

for a good reaction time go on the third yellow

Definately go on the 3rd yellow, if you wait for green your r/t will suck. That's not a big concern your first time out though, concentrate on launching and just don't get crazy, go nice and easy. If your launch sucks, try something different.

Ok thanks all. I have the nitto 555rs not the drag radial but the street tire. Any recomendations on tire pressure. I will be runing the car at Byron Ill.

Just have fun, dont get frustrated. its a way better experiance when you are just out there to do your thing. not like its for money or witholding your title as a track star. trust me, you'll have a blast if you just go for the experiance of it.
