first race was me and zalf

Did you have fun???

Looks like you need to work on your RT's...

1/4 mile is much more fun, but take what you can get.

yeah i know i need to work on my rt's bad !!! thats allways been a problem for me ... the 1.4 was closed because they had flooding a while ago and they are still in the process of cleaning the track and fixing it... it wasnt as much fun as i wished because i dont have the sound of a supercharger lol hahaha

Why the RTs, try the 60', those need serious work.

well rt plays a huge fact when your racing.... esp bracket racing or in any classes.... my friends dad races and i think he get perfect lights almost every time lol... not to talk up ... but they have a pratice tree in there house and i tryed playen and i have a slow slow RT lol .... idk how you could get better 60ft times with a gt... any sugestions..... until i get the supercharger

I lost one of my slips. It was a lot of fun, my first time racing. Didn't realize how terrible I was until I got up there and tried to keep the tires from spinning off the line. I wish we could have had another matched up run or two. Funny how on the 1st run we had identical 60' times.

other 2 slips I have besides one andrew already posted:

R/T .682
60' 2.766
330' 7.514
1/8 11.108
MPH 69.68

R/T .830
60' 2.221
330' 6.297
1/8 9.704
MPH 72.37

Last run was my best, horrible reaction time but oh well. 2nd I spun hard off the line as you can see by the 2.766 60'.... lol, oops.

its your first time ... so its all cool ... you will get better... we will have to do it again some time ... next time we hook up my car to your tuner

Yah.... I was assuming the 60' times weren't all that bad for a NA3800 on street tires. Maybe I'm wrong.

Hey, about your RT's...... You do leave on the 3rd amber right? If you're waiting for the green light to launch, you're killing your RT..... Coincidentally your RT's are right around a half second which would indicate that you're leaving at, or right before the green light.

i need to work on the 3rd light ... i get to scared.... cuz i dont wanna RL so i wait ... it will come with pratice

You aren't alone..... I got a gift from my local club last year. It was a Red flood light bulb because of my record for that season. It happens to the best of them. If you stop fearing it you will learn how to get oh so close and soon you will see a perfect light.... I've got 2 perfect lights under my belt, and I still see red lights trying get another one.

If you know when to launch that's all you need. If you concentrate too hard you will blow it, that's where my fault was last year. Just launch on the third amber. It's that simple.

lol thats funny... i guess i need to keep praticing .... but i want to keep the trips to the track down until i get my hd diff, whenever that will be, i would still like to mount my slicks as well to help prevnet any slip... help my 60' times


see zalf thats why i would like to buy your old tranny from you, so i can rebuild and take the hd diff and the hd parts from it, if you get a new one from TEP

Yeah, not sure which route I want to go with it... stock or aftermarket tranny. Need to look into price for low-mileage stockers at junk yards around here.

try calling pats auto salvage here in waterloo they are farely good with prices

I thought you bought some DRs or slicks, didn't you?

As soon as the third yellow comes on.. GO!

I have always used this and never red lighted.

And those 60's really need some work
