Congrats?







You'll definitely knock quite a bit off of that number just getting in a proper burnout and better launch. Should definitely a high 12 second car based on that run.

Just go to the track and have fun until you get it all figured out, don't put pressure on your self to run a number, that will come as you gain experience. Honestly, it is going to take a few trips to the track until you start figuring it all out.

The launch is the key and the tuffest part. You need to learn/practice to leave with minimal spin, leave easy and roll into it. Focus on that and hitting your shifts and you will see a big drop in your ETs. Once you get consistent then you want to start hitting the tree, take everything in small steps.

FYI: The basic rule is everything you cut off the 60' doubles at the top end. So if you can get your 60' near the 2.0 mark you should run in the 13.5 range.

A 13.5 would be nice, if the car was stock...

But yea, I hear you, I def need more seat time and trying to get off the line quicker.

With your stall you should be ably to pull a 1.8 with out a prob just get the tires heated up and see how the car likes to launch. I ran a few 13 passes on slicks but after i got a feel at launching i was in the 12s. Advide dont worry about the car next to you or what your reaction time is. If your just going for a PB then reaction time doesnt matter. My 12.3 run i think my reaction time was .9 something ha ha really sad but i was more focused on launchin my car.

he is just doing the math off the 60 foot, since you spun way past that, you would knock off quite a bit more by hooking
