Ah u would need nothing lol.Just go out there and line up to the lights and then when it goes green Floor it lol. Ive found that if i bring my tire pressure down alittle it helps.. Also when u get there let the beast cool down.

my back tires are a little bald , im thinking about rotating them before i go

turn overdrive off
go when the 3rd yellow light flashes on
don't floor it you'll spin like crazy, quickly ease into the throttle
don't manual shift

You need good tires. A guy at the track has a few mods, says also he has run 12.8 at the track. He ran two weeks ago with bald tires and couldn't get better than a 13.9. Want to lose a second in front of everyone because you have bald tires?

Bald tires. Just do a burn out from hell. They need to be replaced anyways!

Just got back from the track...

I did pretty good considering it was my first time at the track.

First run was a 13.7 @ 85 2.4 60 ft

Second run was a 13.2 @ 105 2.1 60 ft

Third run was a 13.2 @ 105 2.1 60 ft

It wasnt too bad, Im happy with the results,
but its hard to get a good launch with those f1's.

Next time around the track, Im gunna take out all the extra weight, and see how much it helps, also gunna get slicks, im hoping for 12.8-12.9.

Thanks for all the advice guys
