well this was my first outting to a track ever...boy oh boy, what a difference street racing is from draging on the track. Holy hell did i ever suck...i dont have the slips on me but my best run was a 14.8 @ 97mph. i lowered the pressure in the tires to 20lbs and still nothing. g-dammit i suck! i went with 2 other cobalts and one of them ran a 14.42 @ 99mph. only mod he has is the airbox mod so congrats to him, bah to me!

 

practice practice practice, it will get better.

 

yea man its not as easy as it looks. i went to englishtown friday and first run out i cut a 14.015, so close to a damn 13 i was hating it. you just gotta keep practicing, and dont lower your air pressure to much. did you go to e-town or island drag, i think next week i'm gonna go to island drag just to try to get some launch practices in.

 

i went to etown. i was running tires at 25lbs then at 20 but it didnt seem to help. i didnt bother doing a burnout, maybe i shouldve. oh well, it was my first time but def. not my last! i might be going again this weekend cause now im hooked

 

just do a quick peel out if your on street tires to get the dirt and stuff off of em. btw what town are you from?

 

Get the crap off your tires as best as you can. I have a pair of knobby gloves I use to get all the rock and grit off the tires in the lanes and I have a buddy get the big stuff off right before I do my burnout. THe rest gets cleaned off by the pre-burn bunnyhop.

 

Oh and don't use the waterbox if your on street tires. All that does is **** of people using a real tire. Water + Slick = BAD!

 

i guess i shouldve tried a quick peel out (not in the box). we'll see next time i go. im from bay shore, urself?

 

What were your 60ft times?

 

best was a 2.39. avg was 2.4xx

 

Hmm your MPH is good, you must be spinning going into second as well as most of first gear, I'm sure you could take half a second off that time with a good launch.
