went to the strip tonight

alright guys it was my first time at the strip..never ran any car, let alone never even been to see what its like. lets just forget about my first one. for some reason almost all of my runs i spun all the way down the track, even when i skipped the water and everything. my best run was a 14.22 at 101.04. i was very upset with how i did other then 3 runs, as i would run mid 15's all day, still trap at least 98, but the tires would just spin and spin and spin some more.
best run:
R/t: .709
60': 2.316
330': 6.253
1/8: 9.356
mph: 79.26
1000: 12.004
1/4: 14.224
mph: 101.04

get a tune with torque managment

traction mods and stickier tires (which will prolly snap you axles)

First time with a FWD car at the track isn't easy, I'd say you did just fine!

BTW for some reason I thought it said "went to the strip club tonight" wonder what I'm thinkin about!

hahaha..i thought someone might say they thought of the strip club..but unfortunately no. and i do know how to launch on the street. i guess i just need some advice as far as how to launch/ set up the tires at the track. i do want some new tires however.
