Went to Etown last night (took 3.5hrs to get there because of a 14 car fatal accident on south jersey tpke). This is the 2nd time I've driven a car at Etown, 1st car was my srt-4 which just completely failed. This car was a good 1000000000 times better to drive on a track lol. I still have a lot of stuff to learn and work on.



I really need to work on my launches and need a shift light to get my shifts down pat.

1st run I launched like a panzy and revv'd 2 or 3rd out (or both can't remember)

2nd run I launched much better but spun and shifted early

3rd run I launched like shit again but shifted better


Car 701 (left lane each time)

What mods are done? Looks like a solid 12sec car once you get the 60ft down.

Get you some good sticky tires and get that 60' down, and you will be good to go.

nice man, saw a bunch of mustangs on trailors on the deegan leaving work (backed up off the cross bronx)
I need to fix my pos and hit the track before it closes.

Yeah, with those mods you should be running quite a bit faster than what you did. A lil practice will get you there. Nice job.

Well that would explain why you're trapping the same as brian did with that car with the stock heads/cam and less exhaust lol.

Man you need some practice. Street tires and a 6 speed will not get you where you should be. You've got 11 second power, and a 13 second timeslip.

Yeah definitely need some more seat time. I'm also going to be getting a ORY and just dumping it before the axle. Right now I have the true duals with strano springs but had to put a 1.5" spacer under the rear springs. Hopefully when I get the new ORY I can re-lower my car.
