my best time this past track day was :

14.272 @ 100.30mph
60' - 2.312


i guess i need to work on launching the car right?
i spun all the way through 1st and most of 2nd.

i should be able to hit 13's right?

Work on getting your 60' times down to a 2.0 at highest.

With that trap speed, traction seems to be an issue. Get out of the hole better and your overall ET will reflect it

bad driver. 13s easily with that trap speed. your 60' is what's killing you. get your launch down, and your ets will follow.

don't feel bad, last time I went, I ran a 14.5@98 . that was my first time, so I don't feel too bad about it.

Moved to talk..

please keep these new track times threads in talk they are not tech.

BTW you need to get that 60 ft time down, just practice a little on the street and when you go back forget about trying to kill the light, who cares if you run a 1.200 rt as long as you take your time and get a 2.0 60ft.
