Default First Time At The Track!

So Thursday night I took my car to the track for the first time ever and it was the first time for me ever racing down the track an it was fun!!

my best time was:


R/T ... .150

60' ... 2.234

330 ... 6.010

1/8 ... 9.077

1000 ... 11.694

1/4 ... 13.906

MPH ... 99.75


I just started driving the car alot cause ive been out of town quite a bit an ect... so I'm still learning the car.

My car is all stock pretty much, It has k&n, muffler delete, spare taken out and really ****ty 245 street tires.

The best run went like this 1500 launch little spinning 2nd little more spinning and 3rd a good chirp...

Did I do good?

Not bad at all really.

BTW, i see you're from MI (and about 4 other places lol). I've heard there's a track up that way somewhere in the Mount Pleasant area. Ring a bell???

yeah I think you did well, the street tires hurt, some good tires and 13.2-13.3s are possible IMHO

You did an excellent job OP. Not many people can pull that off their first time out. Nice slip. Definitely consider some DRs.

good run. Anytime you can get into the 13's for your first time is good. Especially, with a mostly stock 2v.

Nice time Drag5.0!

Sounds like a stout 2V, pulling a 13 second slip on that 60 foot. Sweet.
