Tomorrow night is my first time at the track and I have one big question: I want to race and have fun, no going to be too completive in my stock LS, just heading out with some buddies, but I DO NOT want to break anything!! Any tips on what not to do tomorrow so I keep my car in full working order? Thank you very much!

 

Wow. And I thought this was going to be a thread about something TOTALLY different...

 

auto or stick?

 

haha same here, i was like, you have it all planned out? haha

 

maybe it is about the thing you were thinking about...

 

huh? is tht supposed to be some kind of an insult?

 

nope... sorry... didn't come out right... my bad...

typed before brain worked

back on topic i guess... i think the main thing to not breaking anything would be not doing anything crazy when launching...

 

wear a condom

 

you are very unlikely to break something in your LS. Go have fun.

 

I have a stick, and sorry for the bad topic title... ha.

 

so you have a stick, its your first time, you don't want to break something.... just wear a condom

 

Ok, can I please get some advice on actually racing? I really want to make sure I dont break anything on my car. So ya. Just a few serious posts would be most helpful. Thanks!

 

1.) Inflate your rear tires to the max PSI and drop your front ones to ~25psi...
2.) Launch around 2000RPM, and roll off the clutch and into the gas (don't just dump it)
3.) Take off on the 2nd yellow light
4.) If you wheel hop get out of the throttle a bit, that is how stuff gets broken
5.) Have fun, and listen to the car

 

drive it like u stole it!

 

pretty much what reign said. 2.2 won't really break anything

Ya, I am going to firebird! I will look for ya. I saw your pics, maybe get to race ya.
