So today I took the crx to the track for the first time. Let me preface this by saying that I have drag raced one other time in my life, my 94 Jetta back in probably 1996 and i remember being proud of my ricey 17.xx

I am well aware of the concept of launching properly, and what it takes to powershift and what not, its just that i fail to see the purpose of "living your life 1/4 mi at a time", not knocking it, its just not for me. I gave it another chance today, and it reaffirmed my belief that drag racing is in fact, not for me.

With that being said, my times were as follows:

Settings: Tires - Falken Azenis 22psi F/42psi R
Suspension - Koni Yellows/KGmm DR21 - 1/2 turn from full soft front
3/4 turn from full stiff rear


1st Run -
15.210 - 94.966 mph - 1.501 reaction - 2.742 60ft (**** launch, wasnt ready)
2nd run -
14.654 - 95.440 mph - 1.242 reaction - 2.376 60ft (got the hang of the 13 year old clutch, pulled pretty good off the line, bounced off the rev limiter in 3rd)
3rd run -
14.682 - 95.044 mph - 1.055 reaction - 2.337 60ft (not bad launch, was racing a eclipse gst and beat him he ran a 15.013)

Sacramento raceway blows my *** by the way....40 bucks for 3 runs and it was a ****** test and tune session....cant do much tuning with 3 runs...what a ****** rip-off. Anyway, what do you guys think about my #s? Mods are in sigs and many previous posts (most of the regulars know my mods)

edit - added tire pressures and suspension settings

i think you did pretty good. 14.6 is respectable. i think with a few more runs you could have knocked off a few more tenths.
my first time at the track i ran a 14.6 too. few more runs and i did a best of 14.3 in my i/h/e b16a rex

 

dont worry about your reaction time.get that 60 ft down and you'll be stylin

 

what kinda tranny u running?

drag racing is no fun. street or track autoxing is awesome. track safer street more exciting.

who wants to run down a straight line for 12-16 seconds depending on your car. without doing insane mods.

12s cuz my friend has a b18c5 wit toda spec3 cams. and other mods. it hits 12.788

my b16a1 hit 14.5 last time i ran. 2 years ago. new motor now. new clutch wonder what'll hit. that was stock nothing modded. meaning internally. had exhaust/intake.


i looked at your pics. where is that track your racing on? how much it cost to run??
i usually do it around town on roads i know by heart. but its real unsafe to other drivers and myself. at least its my fault if i kill myself. but i dont wanna hurt anyone else.

 

not bad
work more on ur 60 ft times
if u hit 2.1's u are going to be doing way better
ur sig has a lot
so i am guessing u talking about the 90 STD with B16.... for having a B16 thats a very respectable times u getting

 

This was in my CRX, I sold the hatch awhile back.


Ive run my car at most of the tracks in Northern CA, including Thunderhill, Laguna Seca, and Buttonwillow. I guess you can include Sacramento Raceway now too.

thats gay im in houston i goto HRP its only 15 bucks for as many runs as you want...

 

14.6 with a B16 would love to have that time here. I'm in NE TN. Most B16 swaps run 15.5ish give or take a .10. Was that on slicks or DOT radials or your daily wheels. 2.2 60's is about as good as you can get on normal tires if thats the case. I wouldn't complain abou thoses time slips from a stock B16 N/A. Hell my Z6 runs 15.9's and like I said B16 about 15.5's. If I could get that much of a faster time slip I would pay the $$$$ for a test and tune even if it was only 1 time. BTW thats a verrrry clean B16 looks good I live my life a 1/4 mile at a time and those 20 seconds it takes me to get there........

test n tune at sac raceway are a big ripoff.
go on wednesday nights, $15 for 2 pre-lims, then bracket, then fun runs till your sick of it or they close.
when its a empty night, youll get 10+ runs.

 

I know exactly what you mean. Auto-xing in a HUGE parking lot by yourself gets more tiring then racing on Drag strips. cause atleast on a drag stip your either in front, next or behind the person you are racing AND ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN, your actually racing someone at the same time. Auto-x is like ghost racing, you have to use your imagination. I like both Auto-x and Drag but i prefer drag more cause of a bigger crowd and atmosphere, and racing 1 on 1 instead of against time.

The best would be Road Racing that tops them all out.

Like anyone cares but I prefer streetracing(usually do it when drag season is out like now) free and fun. there is this one area called Eagles Point its a divided highway about a 1.5 mile straight DOWNHILL @ 30 degress angle then flattens out and goes uphill slightly with 1 mile left(plenty time to stop) no inbound or outbound traffic can get on. I'll get some pics, ha ** theres a white line too at the bottom which is about 3/4 of a mile, cops have that there cause they do speed traps called VASCAR. we use that as finish line

 

Damn $40 for 3 runs is a rip off!!
At dragway 42 up here in ohio its $10 for as meny runs as u want.
from 4:00 - 11:00

 

Yea, I must admit that time is very respectable!

If you lower that 60 ft. time a tenth of a second then they say that equals .15-.2 off your ET....

Reaction time doesnt mean anything to ET since it is subtracted from your total time at the end. RT only matters if youre bracket racing.

 

damn memphis is great all the runs you can get $15

 

Baltimore is the same way... $10 to watch $15 to race... as many passes as you can squeez out...

 

ah nashville is great even though we only have a 1/8th mile track right now....10 bucks and you get all you want

o yea i ran my best time of a 9.4 with a .504 reaction time and a 2.1 60ft
i was proud of my lil hatch...lol

 

yeah edgewater too
and it sucks.. track its just full of ****!(tire rubber that never gets clean out!)

 

yea 10 bucks rules ! wish i could get up there to run . i`m about to do a swap for a guy here in town. he wants to run too . i can`t seem to find the time raising my own pit crew. gotta love twinz

 

hey you need to...i wanna see you run eddy...he has a 90 crx with a b16 and a 75shot so i think it should be a good race.....his best time was a 8.7

 

hey how many rpms are you launching at? and do you dump the clutch or feather off?
