it's called, self control

As in, if your on street tires, with 4.10s and a 5 speed, no way in hell would you not spin, :hammer: aka self control, keep your foot under control and you'll cut decent times.

Thanks Captain Obvious :thumb:

Cliff notes from everything else already explained:
Track treated us all like ass
Bad track prep
We were rushed through

On that particular run, I waited a bit long and seen green. I dumped the clutch so I wasn't sitting there all day. First time at the track, my mind goes blank. Lots of adrenaline mixed with nervousness.

Re: Aaron VS PeteK who do you think would win in the 1/4mile? (results are in

aaron what you did was a 100% expected my first time ever was a 15.65 or something ridiculous lol....its how it goes as you said nerves gears bad prep and a street tire all make for slower times...after awhile you get the feel and your times really improve ....you never got to see what your car has....once you see how the car needs to launch ...probably a lot of clutch slipping you will have a sub 13 sec car ... dont let captain perfect drag racer ruin your day...if he says his first pass ever was exactly what the car runs i will throw up the bs flag

and yeah pete i do... and if i dont... i can... lol milan is a hour away from me so any time you guys feel you want to go to the track let me know

I'm not worried about him. He isn't old enough to see naked boobies yet :hammer:

I really wanna go back soon. I agree, my car probably needs to clutch-slip from about 2500 or so.

That would suck to get only a couple passes in though. 131 would probably be better. Huh?

Even with my first ever pass being crappy (as expected). I feel like I improved pretty good the 2nd time considering the circumstances and all. Especially launching off idle. 6/10 improvement, not really knowing the best way to launch or whether or not to burnout real quick.

yeah its really a shot in the dark if its gonna be packed or not...i dont know if 131 would be better but i think it would be closer for you....if they had also vht'd the track im sure we would have done better as well :hammer:

Yeah, I noticed (and I'm sure everyone did) that it really seem as sticky as everyone said it would be.

I'm sorry - I've looked through the whole thing (admittedly not that carefully) and can't find times. What were they?

I thought there were posted in here...

1st pass 15.8
Last pass 15.2

Nothing to brag about nor be proud of but if you read through the thread than you know the rest of the story.
