This was my first time at a 1/4 mile track and I'm definitely goin back. I wasn't prepared at all so I've got room for improvement. 3/4 tank of gas, bald tires, over-inflated tires.

Heres my two best runs:

2nd run
17.352 @ 80.04
R/T .480
60' 2.652

3rd run
17.399 @ 80.02
R/T .084
60' 2.748

The biggest thing was definitely launching, i've practiced launching by listening to the engine and tire chirp, but I couldn't hear **** at the track so I had to just wing it. Gotta practice launching with music blasting or something to get a better feel.

I plan on going again this summer if anyones interested in a mini-meet or sumthin. wink.gif

my best was about a 17.5 for my first time. When the last yellow light lit i launched but then let off because i thought i red lighted, that pretty much screwed that run up.

I had the same problem getting a good launch.
