First time at the track!
First time at the track! I went to the track for the first time (with this car anyway, second time overall) tonight. The car is completely bone stock and running on my every-day street tires (Fuzions) on stock 16s and I had about a half tank of gas. Nice dry weather and 50 degrees. Tonight was strictly to get a baseline on my performance before I start modding.
The first race blew, I lost traction shifting from 1st to 2nd and damn near stuffed my Formula into the wall, then drifted into the other lane before getting her back in line and running a 20.98
Good thing there was no one racing in the other lane or that could have been BAD.
After that, things improved, I figured out my launch a bit better and eventually ran to a 13.8 @ 103 mph. I still have work to do on my launch, I think she could've done 13.5 with a better driver (I'm pretty inexperienced at drag racing). Overall, I'm really happy with how she performed (especially compared to my 15.0 second Grand Prix) and can't wait to see how some mods wake her up.
