First time at the track.
First time at the track. Best of the night.
React. .7027
60ft 2.12
330ft 5.70
1/8mi 8.60
1/8mph 84.84
Pretty close to 500ft. altitude
Hot, humid, and no traction. I also had a half tank of gas. I have 315 nitto drag radials and spun all thru first and still chirped 2nd and 3rd. I feel like it has low 8's in it, if I can get some traction and a good launch. My tire pressure was about 28psi's, I forgot to let the air out. My buddy videoed my runs and should have it to me later in the week. On one of those runs I get whipped by a trailored big block Nova. This was my first lost. Oh well you win some you lose some. Anyone have a good idea what I would have ran if I'd cut a 1.8 60ft. time. Do these times seem Ok for my mods? Later!

If you are chirping 2nd, and 3rd with 315 drag radials....you need to learn how to shift. I had comp t/as on my zr1's before getting the gforce. I will tell you what, I would have to try to chirp 3rd. You need to practice your shifting and launching, get your 60' down to below at least a 1.9 (thats as best as I can do) and your times will drop.

if chirping gears is bad when racing how are you supposed to shift correctly to get the best et's? I just learned how to shift and first night out racing was depressing to say the least. Im talking 14.3 was best with a 2.5 60'

I feel like my shifting is pretty good, I speed shift very quickly. I also think they had bad track prep. I definately need to get off the line better though. Hopefully things will go better this weekend. Later!
