I'm going to the dragstrip for the first time tonight any tips for me?

 

What's your track setup and is it an 1/8 or 1/4 mile?

 

Quarter mile and what do you mean track setup

 

What kind of power are you making and what tires are you running at the track?

 

My best advise is, WIN! OK, make sure you switch the traction control to the OFF position. It happens...lol. Brake torque to 15-18 hundred rpm, launch on the last yellow light, and win... It doesn't matter what you are running...you will see anywhere from 13.1-12.?? depending on your setup.

 

If your not already at the track here's my advice. Have fun! Experiment! Don't just mash the gas. Roll to full throttle as fast as your tires will allow. How fast is that? Varies. Prep, tires, power, LSD, etc. When you have an idea what the track will hold cool the car for an hour and get yourself a 12.xx.

If the OP's reaction time is as quick as his post response, a 9 sec slip will be defeated by a stock Civic.

 

Haha yea yea I know. My reaction time actually was pretty bad but my best run was a 12.59 I have 65 mm pulley polished manifolds dcai and just street tires so idk if that's good or what but I deff did have fun. Smoked my friends gto and a stock 370z

 

Nice! Now just invest a few bucks in some drag wheels / tires and low 12's high 11's will likely be attainable. Can you post the slip and DA? We also like track videos too if you have them.

 

Yea my friends didn't video anything unfortunately but I will probably buy some drs once I move to nc in a few months.
