Car at the track, first time, help!

First off, let me say nice ride.. Love the white.

I'd like to see some video if possible. Have a couple questions for you to answer:

1. What was your pre race method - burnout from the box, dry burnout, dry hop etc.
2. forget about the 400 foot mark, what happened in the first 60 to 100 feet? 1st gear just a smoke show or what?

30lbs of air pressure is not a significant adjustment in tire air. 15 to 20lbs is. Just make sure you can air up for the ride home. That tactic provides you two things, a softer tire during weight transfer and a wider traction width (larger contact patch to the pavement). Try pulling a little more air next time.

The car will easily make it into the 13 sec range on stock tires. Just have to adjust the driving a bit.

I stay completely out of the bleach box, drive around it, not through it. In stock form I would do a dry 5 second burnout and then dry hop the car once before getting to the line. Street tired cars shouldn't be in the bleach box at all. Water catches in the treads and you end up spinning to half track.

with the above method I could launch the car at 3000rpm, feathering the clutch, and getting just the slightest bit of tires spin.

Best I did with zero upgrades was 13.84 at 101mph.

From what info you have, it seems traction is clearly your biggest enemy. The new surface with lack of rubber buildup hurts for sure, but should affect alot of the cars across the board(esp those with street tires). Curious to know what other people were running...same, faster, slower???? If you suffered along with many others, it is track condition.
BTW...Sweet ride man!!!!!

Do you guys disconnect the front sway bar anymore or is that all old-school?
