Dragstrips In CT?
Dragstrips In CT? I'm just wondering if there are any tracks in CT that are worth going to, I dont care if its an 1/8, I just want to work on my launching before I make a 2+ hour trip to LVD or E-town.
Plus if any of you drag vets want to give me a hand poping my track cherry it'd really help me out.

arent you from Newtown???
if so we used to race on RT25 connector at night it is not a busy area and you can have plenty of room to make some "test" launches and full runs without any problems, just wait till late at night

Plus it would be nice just to get a feel for actual track racing, I mean I'm not going to make completly rookie mistakes (i knows not to drive strait thru the water-box
) but it'll still be my first time, and that means I'll probibly **** something up. It would be nice if I didnt have to spend all day driving just to **** up for my first time

Don't put so much pressure on yourself. When you get to the track just take it all in. Watch a few cars go through the water box, burnout, line up. Just concentrate on the lights. Don't worry about reaction time. Once you get one run under your belt you'll know what to do better the next time. You're not gonna get your best time on your first past.

Going to try to do the one in May that Steph posted up some time ago. Rentals are always worth the extra money.
