Default Re: Newb needs drag racing advice

So I've gone to the strip 2 more times since and I haven't been able to get back down to 15.5. It's just been more humid here than usual I guess. I finally got a membership with the drag strip here so I'll probably be doing a few more runs.

I was talking to a guy at the hobby shop on base here which is a garage that we can work on our cars for $5/hr and they have every tool in the world. Well turns out I haven't been able to hook on because they mounted one of my tires backwards.

Another variable for slower times I found out while I was talking to the guy at the shop, the strip here is so cheap to run on because they don't use VHT, so the strip is a lot slicker than in the states which greatly affects times.
