Default First time at the strip tomorrow!

Heading up to Ne England dragway in epping NH

First time ever going and I am PUMPED! I just did the TB coolant bypass today which is working like a charm and I recharged my K&N filter.

Im planning on launching around 1500-2000 on the M6

anyone have any final thoughts? I NEED to swing a 13.xx to shut my friend up

thanks in advance!

I wish I was not on call for work, I would go. 13's are no problem. Avoid the water box, go arround. Go on the last yellow light, there are 3 then green. If you wait for green it's too late. Don't let off the gas until you are past the score board. Do not try to slip the clutch. Let it up fast and stomp it. Shift @ red line, but do not hit the rev limiter. Roll into the stage slow. 1st set of lights turns yellow, roll until the 2nd set is lit and stop there. When both cars are staged yellows start to go.

Good luck,
Dave

Drive it like you dont own it , epping sucks for radial tire cars in my opinion.
