Default Re: Tips for a newbie drag racer...

Well, I was rather disappointed with my times, but I chalk it up to a few things:

- First time drag racing
- Slow reaction time
- Track at ~5900' - I calculate that I lose about 70BHP compared to sea level
- Street tires - I think I was definitely spinning the first 20-30' at least.

There were two other SRT-6s there with pretty much the same mods that I have and they were within .1 to .2 seconds of me. Temperature was about 77 and the dew point around 30 degrees. I'd love to do it again and even try it in the lowlands.
