Drag Racing Results - Nicks First drag race

Well yesterday i went to a 1/8th mile track back home. Its the Northeast Dragway.

Dude from Eastcoastdomestics.com invited me, WICKEDSIX i think.

the best i was able to do was 8.56 and that was on my first run.

the next run was 8.67 and the last was 8.73

I need to practice in the burnout sections(from properly going through the water box and burnout)

I spun out of the hole each time. i blame the Nexen tires and my eagerness to try and catch the car beside me :D :D

In the video(that i will post later) I raced a mustang about the same year as me. He said he was stock and maybe the motor was, but i beleive he had a aftermarket exhaust and i know he had those weird light weight drag rims on w/ some tires on the back that seemed to work better than mine.

i lost due to spinning but my time was faster. i was going past his back bumper when we crossed the line.

If it had been a 1/4 mile i would won by a few car lengths for sure.

but we talked and we both agree we had crappy tires and that it was a fun race.

WICKEDSIX-raced him and i think he won. but then again WICKEDSIX went a best of 8.26 at one point that day.

the mustang went 74.xxmph and i went 84.xxmph his time was 8.7xx mine was8.67 :D :D :D

now im hooked :D but probably shouldnt be racing my only transportation...

EDIT::: sidenote-was listening to 3oh3 when the lady asked what number i wanted...lol

Must a been the wing....lol whats up with the ricer wing on the gt,whats your setup?

my car is stock. its a A4. i have Nexen NS3000s on the car.

i was trying not to mess them up as they are 190 a tire and i cant buy any right now.

so thats why theres no burnout. But nexens dont hook either so that coupled with the fact i hit the gas too hard is why i spun bad at every start.

i was also too excited to get the light timing down. >.< meant to go sooner but didnt wanna redlight.


and i didnt ask the guy about the wing, or the hood inserts. He just said it was stock so i didnt question it.

You need to leave on the last yellow and not wait for the green light.He killed you on the start..Nice run..

Don't go through the water box with street tires or you will spin.

yeah, gotta get the timing down

yes this has been covered.

there is no way by the waterbox at that strip. walls are built into it.

i knew what would happen but i cannot throw my car over the box by hand :D :D:D
