first time at the track

[derockgt]

did ok i guess. this is a 1/8th mile track. first run was 8.44 @ 89.11with a 2.24, 60ft only ran 4 times best was a 8.38 @ 86.86. with a 2.0, 60ft. after that run they told me i needed a helmet because i was getting to fast??:shrug: . pretty sure once i get the hang of it (and hook, had some wheel hop on 2 of the runs) i can dip into the 7s. need to work on my shifting to(so slow). it was also about 82 with 80% humidity.

heres the run of 8.44 1st run ever

Thats not bad for your 1st time out. I ran a 8.28 @91mph my 1st time out with the new set-up in my 92' 5.0. With some practice, dialing in my tune, and stickier tires I knocked off about 8 tenths and picked up 5 mph.

Anytime I get to race and nothing breaks its a good time and thats what matters.

yup i wasnt heating them up enough and as you can see in the vid i just left off idle and eased into the gas got fully into it at about 4500rpm to keep from spinning. they were at 19-20 psi
