Not very long!willys1 said:March 7th will be my first time down the 1320!! (yes,Im a virgin,LOL) How many seconds does it take the tree to get down to green,after both cars have staged??Are all tree's the same,or are all tracks different??
Yup,Island dragway.Opening day is the 7th(weather permitting) .500,,,thats 1/2 a second,.They are also having a dinner banquet in Panther Valley.All the sponsers go and they give away stuff.5.0GT said:You are going to go to Island Dragway right? At Island for test and tune, it is a .500 tree. This means that .500 seconds after the last yellow turns on, the green will go. Last yellow, then .500 seconds later, green. Basically, most people just go once they see the last yellow, because by the time they react, it will be green.

After both stagging lights come on,when do the ambers start,if I remember correctly,it takes a few seconds,doesnt it?mike keirstead said:The 3 ambers don't start coming down until both cars are staged. If you are the secong car in you can take all the time you need. Once the second stage light comes on that's when you prepare for your launch.

astronut1885 said:Why do you avoid the wheel wash? Isn't it better to get them clean? After that, why do I do a burnout? I imagine it's to get the tires hot and sticky... Also, what is the right way to launch? I've hammered in my car plenty of times, but I usually just put it in first and mash the pedal. Do you guys already have it in first with the clutch depressed while the amber lights are going ro do you go from neutral to 1st on green? Do you hold the brake before you launch so you don't roll though the staging area? Thanks for all the info so far!
Oh, on the burnout, do you use the brake to hold the car, or just light them up and then stop? I have a T-5 if that makes a difference.
