Good drivers... You guys always talk about good drivers getting better times. What exactly is a good driver, especially with an automatic. When I am at the drag strip in my 91z28, I run 8.9x-9.xx in the 1/8 mile and im an auto. I start in 1st and shift manually, is there some kind of way to get better times out of my car. I shift at about 4800..

r/t, where to stall the car up to (depending on track conditions), finding the grove, staying in the grove, and being a safe experienced driver if there is a bad situation.
practice is everything. dont manually shift. it will slow you down assuming your tranny running correctly.
