First time at the strip
Took 5 passes last night in 100 degree weather and a smoking hot track. Part bad conditions and first time at track jitters gave me less than I wanted. Hopefully these times go down dramatically next time I make it out. I launched around 2200-2500 with slight tire squeal each time. Spun 1st-2nd most times even though I told myself to ease in on the gas...iin the heat of action I must have still nailed it. I'm running on Vredesteins. Any feedback is appreciated.

Took 5 passes last night in 100 degree weather and a smoking hot track. The car was above 215 F on every pass. Part bad conditions and first time at track jitters gave me less than I wanted. Hopefully these times go down dramatically next time I make it out. The second pass I didn't make 3rd and put it in 4th and coasted. I launched around 2200-2500 with slight tire squeal each time.

I was mad I didn't get below 13, but I thought it was partly due to the heat and to the 60'.

My first runs were also in the 12s and 13s, lol. Once i got a set of Drag radials, on my 5th pass the time in my Sig was had. So no worry, just get some practice in and use ranger's launch write up, as that's what I used for my Sig run, it works and that run still hold 7th place in the Fast list in sticky. there is a lot of info and insight that can be had from many by ready the sticky above on driving to fast ETs. good Luck
