stupid driver .. track results
yeh went to the track last night .. :\
a little upset on my performance .. i couldnt grab the track to save my life , no traction at all.
Best run of the night (out of 3) was a 13.4 @ 110 w/ a 2.4 60' .. my worst was a 22.32 @ 55mph .. finally nabbed my 60' and got out of the hole when the car went sideways at the top end of 1st.
*sigh* .. i know, DRs .. DRs .. but i dont want to do that ..
i know the car has 12s .. i just have to drive it there.
my best has been a 13.02 @ 111 mph w/ high humidity.
*sigh* .. well there goes $25 ..
.. gotta drop those headers and then i'll be pulling 12s all day long even with a 2.4 60' ..

That 60 is pretty rough.........dang.
Did you have traction control on or was it off and you're just nailing it too hard off the line??
What all do you have done to your car?

You have an auto or manual? What rpm are you launching at?

i know i dont have a mn6 i got a mn12 zo6 i launch at 3250 on the street tires with like 24 psi or so. do you still have the run-flats? take the presures down, go around water box, do a good 5 second burnout or until you see a good amount of tire smoke, roll to the line, set up and stage id try like like 3000 rpm launch first and go from there, let clutch out gradual but fast enough to not fry it(slip it) and add throttle accordingly, shift at redline as fast as possible. run a good time. its all trial and error. i first ran my zo6 i thought i did pretty good and by the end of the night i cut .7 tenths off the time. practice makes perfect, i guess it doesnt help that i drag race every week. good luck any questions fire away.
