hey guys, tomorrow i'm planning on heading down to e-town afterwork (6:30 ish??) and I'll be running my camaro for the first time ever! In fact, it will be my first time running anything at the track. I was hoping that some of you would be kind enough to pass along a few tips for launching the car and what not.
First of all...I don't have a helmet, but I heard I can rent one...correct?
now onto the car:
Like my sig says, it's a '96Z with a 383. It's got the spec stage 3 clutch with a light weight flywheel. B&M Ripper shifter, stock rear end with stock gears. I'll be running on regular street tires, 17" with 275's all around. I have Eibach springs, bilstein shocks, larger dia anti-sways front and rear, lower control arms and adj panhard rod. I know it's not ideal for drag racing, but it handles nice, i'm just going to the track for fun. Sadly i'm probably going to end up embarassing myself pretty badly...lol
But I know I should avoid the water box. What rpm should I launch at? Should I just let the clutch out all the way at once? When should I attempt to take off...right after the last yellow light turns off, slightly before, or right when the last yellow turns on? Thanks for your help guys!
