I went to the local track for the 1st time ever about 2 months ago and was running 8.2-8.5 at between 86-92 mph. Obviously I am no expert and am running an 09 stock with the auto w/2.73 gears and Npp. Hope this helps.

once you run your car you will get the bug! The biggest thing you can do to drop your time is get some drag radials, if you have factory runcraps you will have a very hard time getting any traction. Doing a burn out will not help your traction at all, just drive around the water box and spin just enough to clean any trash off your tire.

I encourage you to try it once....all mine did was spin like mad.
Tried it on two different occasions,with the same results each time. And I followed the instructions to the letter. It was a bit better on the second attempt after putting the PS2's on it,but still not remotely close to what even an average driver could better.

The closest track to me is 1/8 mile and it's actually a fun place. Once I started autocross and then road courses, I stopped doing drag strips.
