1st time at the track

Well last night we decided to go to the local 1/4 mile track for a test and tune night... only got to do 2 runs...

The first run was quite slow, and that lane was very slippery...Tire spin through 1st, 2nd, 3rd...I shut down early thinking it was my clutch slipping!

R/T----.511
60 ----2.533
330--- 6.428
1/8 --- 9.567
MPH --- 74.75
1000 12.373
1/4 ---- 15.121
MPH --- 79.45

For the next run, decided to try the other lane... It was alot better, but right after my run, they shut the drag down due to the very low track temp and dampness of the track. at the top end of the track, you feel the car wanting to slide around.

r/t ---- .276
60 ---- 2.279
330 --- 6.054
1/8 --- 9.104
MPH --- 82.62
1000 -- 11.704
1/4 ---- 13.8
mph --- 104.44

So i think with better track conditions and some practice, it could still come down quite a bit

Change out those back tires and get your 60 ft down and you should see a low to mid 13 second pass. But still congratulations on your 13 second pass.
