Default First time to track w/.005 RT!!

My T/A is bone besides the catback. I went to the track to get my right foot dialed in some before I started modding. And I wanted to get used to the tree some. Approx 1200ft elevation and 80 degrees

First two lights were a .034 and .063 RT respectively. Then the third pass was a .005 RT. I got mentioned on the PA for the best RT of the night!

RT -- .005
60' -- 2.090
330 -- 5.817
1/8 -- 8.841
mph -- 82.01
1000 -- 11.434
1/4 -- 13.640
mph -- 102.20


So now I just need some hp to go with it!

It's not so much hp thats needed. Just hooking that more powerful motor, than mine, should produce better numbers than mine.

Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn...lol. J/k man. That's some sweet lights. Only thing is, when you add the hp you are so wanting, it will change everything in terms of reaction time. If you leave on the same bulb when the car was stock, you'll red light.

But that's the fun of it. You just gotta practice some more and find your new spot on the tree. Keep cuttin em down like that and you'll bring home a few trophies. G/L.

That's not bad for the first time. You have the 'tree working, hell leave it alone and take it bracket racing! If she's consistent, you'll be winning some rounds!
