anyways, it was on stock tires and iwt was between 60-70 degrees last night


it was my first time at the track and i was pretty horrible... here aresomeof my best times

Best 60': 2.338
Best Quarter: 15.318 at 93.2

My bro's only time: 15.2?? at ??
my bro said i could have gotten a 14.9 if he drove it a few more times, or if i improved but OH well.. Every run i did i got a better time so we;'ll see in the future


I need some practice,but its still HEll of alot of fun.. Ihvae some videos if anyones intersetd of seeing my shitty times

 

anyone give me some advise.. my bro says i wasn't shifting fast enough... but what 60ft shoudl i be running?

 

your 60' is a little high. Ideal would be around 2.1's and then youll be in the low 15's to high 14's. Launching is another key factor on your 60' times.

 

ive realized that track racing Is so hard to be consistent... and its really difficult to do well

Just takes practice i presume

 

Nce times for a first timer...Work on your 60fts though, In a prelude you should be able to put down a 2.2 60ft on street tires...Shift fast and precise at 8k. Post the vids i would like to see them.

 

Get your 60foots (im 23) down a little bit, and you will see better times.. Id get a set of Drag (im a virgo) Radials and you can dip into the 14's if thats what your goal is...

 

thanks for the help guys i reallllly appreciate it...

do u think it would be ok, considering ihad no problems last time at the track... To go again Friday (tmw)?


i want to practice

just in general

 

really,, the place i go is prety low key, they don't check anyhtin like that i dont htink.

i m goin to jail for life

 

Get a nice set of tires up front and get yoru launches down and you should easily see the 14's with a 2.1x 60' time. Also try lowering your tire pressure to about 20psi. Have fun

WTF

 

alright ya, my tire pressure ws lowered to bout 28, but i wasn't sure how low i could go

 

you can lower your tire pressure untill it starts to affect your trap speeds.

Once u see a drop in your trap speed put some air back in. Prolly can lower it a few more psi. like 25

 

jeez, you guys don't understand what sarcasm is, huh???

 

you need to power shift man.......i just don't let off the gas and my 0-60 increased dramatically. Not the best thing for your tranny and clutch though

 

my first day is tomorrow...

 

i want to go again tonight.... is that ok?

You dont need our permission...yes its ok to go, the guy that said it was illegal was just kidding...And DONT shift at WOT(wide open throttle) unless you like replacing your clutch.
