Default first time at track

tonight i went to cecil county (i know a few of you go there). I was just spectating but in the last 20 minutes me and my buddy decided to run each other. He has a tundra. I tried spraying but my pressure was very low cause of the temp, so i only sprayed in 2nd gear, then shut it off. I had a full tank of gas. My launch was horrible cause it was my first time running and i didn't wanna spin out and crash cause somone almost did lol. Stock tires, and my nitto 555r's should be on in a week.

R/T .501 (best reaction time of anyone for the night)
60' 2.342
330 6.061
1/8 8.943
MPH 87.05
1000 11.415
1/4 13.536
MPH 106.20

i wont post my buddys time to save him the embarressment. [:@]

wow.... a 13.5 with a 106 trap,, you can definately tell you were just messing around..lol
that is one nasty 60' lol... that alone is.. i dont know though, judging from the 60' youve got room to hit 11's by itself, let alone spraying more than 2nd gear

anyone else notice that? one nasty car, good luck when you really go for it

yea, im pretty sure there wont be many people here arguing that you werent out for a record..
haha,,

the launch (when youre out trying for real) is 90% of the race in my opinion

assuming your a consistently good shifter, then the smallest difference in your first 60' will play an enourmous roll in your time

good luck

yea thanks... Nitto 555r's should make a good difference in my times. I also noticed that i was like the only one who drove around the water box... nearly every single car drove right through it... even ones with normal street tires.. a few cars were smart enough to back into it. I did a small, un-necisarry burnout, for my friends lol.

I ran 13.5 @ 106 on my last coupla trips to the track, even though my 60 ft times weren't as bad as yours. That car definitely has some potential.

sounds like something i might do..

I was playing toca3 last night, dazed out thinking of my 5.0, and realized my hands and fingers were still controlling the car, shifting, clutching, and racing ahahah.

Thats a DIRTY 60 time
