that is weird. all of the local tracks around here (3) are decent tracks but englishtown is by far the nicest

The closest track to me is gainsville it's like an hour and a half away.

Anny good tips for launching, etc. Didnt Ito help you with your driving skills. Just trial and error the best?

slipping the clutch should net even better 60FT times.... but i just suck at it. i have been practicing but it is alot harder to do that than hold down the gas and dump the clutch judge ito helped me, he basically said, YOU ARE SHIFTING WAY TOO SLOW. SHIFT FASTER. LAUNCH HARDER. etc. he yelled lots of other things to me too. those are the ones that i will never forget

trial and error works but its better to learn from other peoples mistakes. i drove my friend nof's FD... he couldn't do better than a 14 one day at the track. he got pissed so he left me have one run. i ran 13.6 after that he got pissed and ran a 13.6 also. encouragement also helps

Ito sounds like a funny guy! I need to get up the our local strip on the test and tunes days...what do you pay at your local track to run, can you run as many times as you want? Wait in line typa thing?

$20 for time trials. usually get 3 runs... unless an act of god happens

RX7withNitrous

that's awful gainsville is $15 bucks as many times as you can run. My friend ran 16 times in one night one time.

i can deal with it. not as many runs = not as many broken parts lol

Barwick

I made like 17 runs that day, and strangely enough my 2nd run was the best (although by only .004 seconds to like my twelfth run).

It's HORRIBLY inconsistent when you're running with a stock mount intercooler.. or any intercooler in general I guess..

my car was incredibly consistent with the top mount.... i ran 13.70 then 13.74 back to back lol

Barwick

Oh aren't WE special? Heh

vosko

yes we are. neener neener

By the way, had the car weighed, 2880 lbs, so that wasn't the trick.. I need to dyno this sucker.

vosko

iTrader: (4)

did the car weigh 2880 with you in it ?

mine weighed around 3000-3050 with me in and i weigh 230 lbs

Barwick

no that was without me in it.. 3080 with me and my work bag in it.
