Default track times... high et high mph

Went to the track last night. seeing what the ol go kart would do. got a lot of runs in. ran on 17" rims with street tires. i realize now i need 2 things: 15" with some better tires, and a LSD. other than that things were fun. gotta get better in 60' though.





the 83 is still my car, track dudes read my number wrong. oh well it was fun!

But reaction time doesn't effect your times. You could sit at the light for 20 seconds, then launch and still run a 14.

dude you're a ****** idiot

if you want to work on your reaction times for street racing that is fine, but if you want better times, work on your launching..

Try launching at different rpms and see how your 60's change...every car is a little different based on wheel size/motor/car wieght/etc...
