run it come back with times slips and go from there

 

15.30

 

low 15's i think, maybe high 14's

 

1ST time at track??--you'll get 16 (something)
problably squeeze out 15.10-20 by the end of day
as long as you can manage a decent 60ft

 

what do you mean by " 60 ft" ?

60ft--means the 1st 60 feet of the race track--IMO the 60ft/330ft is the most critical when it comes to drag racing...the 60 ft is pretty much how well you launched the car (how well you got out of the whole)--the 330 ft was how well your 1-2 shift was?--a "great" 60 ft on street tires IMO would be a 2.0
"average" probably a 2.2 (on street tires)-from what was i always told--cut 1 tenth off your 60ft is 2 tenths off your 1/4...pretty much comes down to..practice!!!

 

my first time at the track i got a .087 reaction....i reacted at the last yellow instead of wen it turned green, helped a whole lot

Reaction time has nothing to do w/ your E.T (for time trials)
