what is everybodies feeling first time racing at the track. im doing a essay on peoples feelings first time drag racing at the track. i can only think of exited and nervous, can somebody give me more thoughts? thanks in advance.

 

Man the first time i went i was so nervous its not even funny. Everything was going through my head about what if my car mess's up how am i getting home? Stuff like that. But i was lovin it man, its like something you crave(sp?) that you just need to have. Then when i raced the first time i felt so good it was so great. Its the greatest thing i have yet....

 

overwhelmed, intmidated, dissapointed, relieved

not MY feelings but just some that come to mind from what I have seen

 

The palms of my hands were sweaty as hell. Kinda hard to shift with sweaty hands .

 

and my right leg shakes.

 

i just smoke bomb before every race event i go to. it keeps me calm and i get more consistent runs. thats just me though . otherwise your hands might become sweaty, heart beats much faster, and you feel like your gonna **** in your pass. well for your first time at the track at least. you'll do fine though. just pretend your on the streets but with the relief of knowing that no cops will pull you over.

 

I feel good.. like James Brown I do the splits and scream!

 

man i wasn't even nervous my first time. i was ready. LOL. only had the car for a month. this was back in august '02. only had on tanabe exhaust. ran 15.5's and a best of 15.3. i think i did well my first time out. just wanted to hit at least stock times. i'll post timeslips when i take pics of them.
