well air down your tires to about 18psi and are you doing a small burn out right before the run? you probably should if you arent. once you are at the light, get your rpms up around 2300 and once its green, ease into the gas pedal, but do it quickly. if you just punch it, it will spin for sure, so you have to be gentle with that throttle. let me know how it goes. you should be able to pull off some 2.1 60 fts. and get really close to 8.9 in the 1/8

sorry I dont know what i was thinking. on the run i hit the rev limiter in second..... so it was not my fastest run i had a 9.2 but i lost my paper. so i could not give all the information. but i do think i traped somewhere around 80.23( with a 2.3xx 60'). i hope my next outing will be better.
M6 so all you can do is take it to the track and run it over and over experimenting until you get the launch down and get it the hang of getting down the track consistently. If it was mine though I'd get slicks and hit it hard just to have an excuse to buy a 9".

lol let me tell my parents that they have to loan my about 700 , because i dont have the rest to buy a 9' so I can launch like a bat out of hell at the dragstrip. I think I will just practice more. Thanks for the reply

Well today i went to a back road and practiced launching. after a few times i noticed that i was hardly spinning at all....so it made me think of something. Saturday there was a big car show here in town. or i clean her up that morning. I took off all the wheels and cleaned them real good then put lots of tire shine on the whole tire.......then went to the track......sorry guys. i'm a dumb***
