First time at track

[Rekokulous]

Last night I drove the 200 miles to go run my car at speedworld near Phoenix, AZ. Directly after the drive I ran about 8 hot laps because I got there late and only had about an hour to race. Luckily there were not very many people there. It was about 95 degrees with 15% relitive humidity and 29in barometric pressure. The track is somewhere near 1400 ft elevation. Ran a best of 13.9. The 14.0 timeslip I missed 4th, I think it could have been a 13.8.

Like I said it was my first time and I need to practice and go again when I've got more time to let the engine cool down and take my time.

Oh, I was using some 275 nitto DR's on 17x8 rims.

Glad to see you had fun. The more you go, the more you'll get better at all aspects of drag racing (i.e. burn outs, reaction time, shifting etc).

Wow....nice 60-ft times for your first time at the track. Most come back in the 2.2-2.4 range. And you ran yours on street tires no less.

Yea, good times. Good 60s too. My first (and only) time on DRs (2nd trip ever in the car) resulted in a best 60 out of 3 runs was a 2.03. Ran a 13.7 W/ a 2.10 60ft. Only run i didnt miss 2nd LOL. Anyways congrats.

speed world = killer track prep

a 1.9 is not sweet on drag radials.

thats what I thought too. I wasn't happy with my 60ft times or the track prep at speedworld. I either spun or bogged almost everytime off the line. The 13.9 pass wasn't a bad launch but it definatly wasn't the best I could do. I felt I hooked up better on the street than the track. I think I could get a 1.8 or so with a little more practice.

Congrats ! And, good driving !!

Oops....missed that little bit at the end.


In that case......those aren't really anything special as far as 60-ft times go.
