Went to the track for the very first time friday nite....car is not 100%, didn't lower tire pressure or anything just drove there and rite onto the track. Because of time i was only able to get 2 runs in, my best of the 2 was 14.6@95mph, and that was with a .671 rt and miss shifting...went from 2nd -5th.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif . I figured if i had on stock wheels and not 18s and actually know how to shift properly https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif i would have hit 13s. OH well maybe next time.

nice time! i was at the track 2 days after i bought my 3rd gen. i got there late and only had time for one test run and pulled a horrible time at 14.7. then the bracket racing started (hate it). my next run i owned. i dialed in at a 14.4 to be safe and caught the guy like half way down the track. my 1/8 mile speed was 79 and i finished with a 14.8 80. the next run i boged down off the line and had horrible spin in second and ran a 14.5, but what gives me hope is that the previous run i was .6 seconds faster at the 1/8 mile, so i thinks with practive i might hit really low 14's or really high 13's i hope.

well this is kinda a sad story i have an 85 gsl witch i have played with alot and was wanting to tack it to the track so bad,
well i got the oppertunity last friday it was drag nite so there were alot of people and i had a 2 hour wait till i was up, well being stupid i whent to heat my tires and didn't have it in gear and the rpm's hit about 8200 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif after i got it into gear i sun for a good 5 seconds before i let off and whent to stage well as i get up to the light one of the track dudes taps on my window and says "your done", i thought i was in trouble so i asked why he said "your broke" what you got to be kidding me i get out and look behind me and i had left a trail of antifreeze the size of the nile. well after getting my car off the track i got under the hood and all i did was just split a hose, and after looking at it close i discoverd the hose was completely soaked with oil. well after fixing all my faulty hoses i took my car home. just a question? what do you think an 12a pushing about 160 to 170 horses would run on the 1/4 mile???? |
i'd say you should run 14's

How did you manage to mis shift from 2nd to 5th? Sounds like you just need to calm down and stop worrying about the car in the other lane...
