Default Just got back from the track. Sohc style. Man I stink...

First off, this was my first time ever racing at a track. Completely different from street racing Anyway, just wanted to see what I would run. I wasn't able to make any more passes since I haven't bought a helmet yet. I launched at like 3K, but just bogged it big time. Full interior CX, 13" toyo street tires with 35psi(I'll lower the psi next time). With some more practice I should be able to get the 60' way down. Mid 13's maybe? The car next to me was a nova I think. I'm on the right. Pretty crappy for 274whp

Yeah, get your 60 FT time down... that is what is killing you. You need that to be around a 1.8-1.9

Hopefully I'll get some runs in next weekend. My goal is to hit 12's on these 13" street tires. Whether it will happen or not is another story If I can get the 60' down and have to tune for more boost I will Thanks for looking.
