First time doing the 1/4 mile @ Island Dragway
 

So, last night Nick and a bunch of other njfboa guys went to island dragway for the friday night street legal drags, and I got the balls to go.

Keeping in mind this was my first time @ any track, this was my best time:

Reaction time: .622
60': 2.184
1/8: 8.788 @ 83.89
1000': 11.294
1/4: 13.410 @ 106.8

She's stock, from the engine to the tires similar to the manufacturer's (crappy goodyear eagle f1's, if I recall correctly?)

:D after that I felt pretty accomplished. Next time I'd just have to lower the psi in my tires (they were @ 30, cuz I didn't know I was gonna go drag) and also have better quality tires overall

Here's the timeslip (I'm on the left, lol I was labeled 3333):

nice run man, quick reaction for first time out

The worst I had was .742 (the first run I had when I had traction control on) :oops:

not bad for your first time out. car is running pretty good for stock and tires will definitely help

I still say I was pretty impressed for a first timer, off the street, and having driven a manual transmission for under a year.

A little bit more seat time for the 60s and 1/8 down a bit and you'll have some 13.1s, especially with a set of tires that aren't 10 years old

haha yeah... that and a short throw shifter would help out a lot

nice dude. i told you, you can have one of the sticks i have! i think its like an inch shorter than a stock one and should bolt right up to the hurst! just a matter of when you want to get it. might make a dif or not. or you can use it to fab up a short stick. either way i dont need need it

hack of an inch. ill lend you my axe

Nice runs! that trap speed is good for stock

You should take this man up on his offer. The stock hurst aint bad, its that gay stick they put on there that's the issue.

Good run! I ran for the first time ever at nationals and ran a best of 13.7 at 103 in my SS. That was on my street tires and a clutch that's seen better days.

lol rob when i have money ill hit up nick about his sticks

nicely done! my first 2 times were horrible xD first time i forgot my traction control on and second time i almost stalled (probably cuz of some brain / foot coordination fail.) then came the 13.4 and a 13.7 :D

i said you can have it dave... which means FREE, i know money is short cuz your in college i have a good job i dont need it the money anyway.

no more excuses dave. he gives it to you for free, i can install it for you for free if you need. ur **** out of excuses.

Congrats man, trap sounds pretty damn good.

install it for him? **** i hope he can install it himself its 2 bolts:rofl: if not idk if he should be driving haaha

thats a quick R/T? :lol:

get some drag radials and hit 12s!

More like he was refreshed for his run after a quick nap!:lol:

quick R/T after finishing the sammich

Just making sure he has no excuse to not get it.

haha it was 7 seconds faster than my best ET of the night
