1st Time at the drag strip!

[KHvistagt]

I raced my car for the first time this past Sunday. My first run was 14.63 at 100.3 MPH. Next I ran a 14.57 at 96.5 MPH. Best time I got was 14.48 at 96.2 MPH. The only mods I have are BBK CAI with Brenspeed 93 tune and 3.73 gears. I would have thought I would be able to get in the 13s with these mods. What do you guys think? Maybe the temp was a factor? The air temp was about 82 and I heard them say the track temp was 135. Maybe I just need more practice? Anyway, It was fun and I would love to go again sometime.

seat time can never hurt, just from seeing other cars with similar mods, yeah your times are a little off, but hey for your first time who cares you had fun thats all that matters

i went 13.61@104 with a jlt cai and a diablosport tune. everything else stock

 

[Quick281]

ive seen people get as low as 13.3 with the same set up ( cai/tune )

 

[dsblk93gt]

60fts?

 

[Quick281]

my best was 2.11

Sounds like you either spun alot or use used 4th gear, you should be able to useup to third...

 

[Quick281]

i got into 4th with 3.55's... pretty much at the line

 

[KHvistagt]

I didn't use 4th gear. My 60ft. was 2.24. when I ran 14.57. When I ran 14.48 my 60ft was 2.37. I was launching around 2800 rpms and didn't spin much. I did spin a little when I shifted into 2nd.

I'm Curious, what do you run with the mods in your sig?

 

[Quick281]

[Quick281]

i ran 13.8 this year lol... opening day and rain.

 

[PrjctLxEnvy]

gotta work on your 60ft alittle bit

 

[KHvistagt]

Thanks for the advice. I guess I just need to get more track time to get into the 13s.

 

[PrjctLxEnvy]

who cares, did you have fun??

 

[Quick281]

having fun is the most important part.... sucks when you know your car is faster than you are driving it tho

 

[Quick281]

i raced a civic that runs 12.4X and only lost by a length. but run high 13's on the track.

 

[KHvistagt]

It is very fun and I will definately do it again sometime!

 

[Quick281]
