Well, this was my first time out....ever ran a 14.1 e.t. @ 101.3 mph. A little disappointed. Made 5 passes this was my best, had some trouble with my launch but by my last pass it was getting better. Car pulled hard first thru third and seem to lose a little (bog) shifting into forth. Shifting @ 6500 rpm.

Guys and Gals with track experience any constructive feedback for a novice!

How's Ubly these days? I heard they resurfaced it a few years ago

I thought the track was pretty good, but I'm new at this drag racing stuff. There were some high 9 second cars there, didn't hear anyone complaining.

Gotcha. I wish it wasn't so far for me, since it's much better than Lapeer, and you don't have to wait so long like at Milan. Its been at least 5 years since I have been there

I edited my original post with time slip info.....

What you guys think, baron in mind this was the first time I been on the track!

Had a terrible time hooking up. This did effect my E.T.

2.38 sixty footer is horrible lol. was the track not prepped or it was that bad hooking up? practice makes perfect so keep practicing feathering the throttle on the launch. i'd look into upgrading the suspension and better tires that'll hook.

I hear you....drag radials are on the way
