Hey guys,i finally decided to pay the 20 dollar entrance fee to race.KCIR is where I ran.Well anyway,I guess I did ok for the first time at the track,I just wish I could have trapped at least 100.
FIRST RUN
R/T .328
60' 2.614
330 6.610
1/8 9.775@77.29
1000 12.508
1/4 14.794@99.15

SECOND RUN
R/T .566
60' 2.173
330 6.060
1/8 9.214@77.18
1000 11.957
1/4 14.259@98.08

FINAL RUN
R/T .365
60' 2.324
330 6.314
1/8 9.540@75.80
1000 12.327
1/4 14.655@97.11

first run i eased out,got a higher trap but lower et.Second run i launched at 2000rpm.A better et but 1mph slower
then final i launched the same way.I ran against a friends 03 mach 1 with 3.55's,exhaust.Sounds mean.his runs were mid 14's with the passes with me at traps of 101,but earlier he ran a 13.7 at 104.Fun night,just wish it was cheaper to race....

unless your at a high elevation, those times need to come down but glad u had fun!

Thats not bad for a first time Not going to get much lower than a 14.0 being stock.

[Crazystang89]

That second run isn't bad. Try doing a small burnout outside of the water to lower those sixty foot times. You should be able to get a 2.05 or so with stock everything.

Those are not bad times for your first time at the track....

my first observation is you need to work on your 60' times

which launching the car with out excessive spinning or bogging the motor...

with that being said that will come with experience (aka seat time)

glad you had fun & didn't break the car....

one word of caution drag racing at the track is addicting

welcome to our world.....

Nice numbers for your first time out!! Congrats!!

As Reggie said, get some more seat time in that car and you'll be able to get that 60' down and that's going to get you even better numbers!

Great times!
I hope that you had a lot of fun doing it too.

You really just need to keep working on your launches.
Finding the right RPM, proper burnout and tire pressure to run.

This will increase your 60 foot times, and as a by product, will decrease your ETs.
Do not worry about your Trap Speeds.
They really do not mean anything.
The longer you stay on the track the higher your trap speed will be and the higher your ETs.
The quicker you get off the track the lower your ETs will be (and lower your speed to a certian point)

I know that it seems counter intuitive, but that is the way it works.
Maybe someone else can explain it better than I can.

Just remember, all of us were beginners at one time and had to learn how to drive down the track too.
We had to ask questions and practice, none of us were born "Experts".

I hope that you make it to the track more often and that you have a lot of fun.

I'm a little late on this but good job. Those 60 ft times can definitely come down but that'll come with more passes down the track as you "learn" your car.

Congrats on your first time at the track ...considering what your first run looks like, if you drop that 60' I bet you can trap 100 MPH. Good luck with your car.

[3valve46]

thanks for the replies guys!!!yea those 60ft times for sure need to drop
