Default Trip to the track

I went down to the track last night and made about 10 passes. Best time was a 16.106 @ 85.28mph. That is with my 20's on that weigh about 80 lbs a piece. With the factory wheels on I am thinking I should be somewhere in the mid to low 15's

That was how I did when I raced my first time, If you get your reaction time down to .2 or .3 instead of R/T .6 You will get a high 15 time, a litte burnout does help, You don't ruine your tire with a little burn out to get traction, it helps, I got a 15.9's at .3 R/T and with a burn out and traction control off and on twenties, can't wait till it cools down and a test with my 17"s to see the difference in wheels for time.

your reaction time won't help your ET.. it has no affect at all on it. just how quickly you roll off the line.

i do'nt know why mavrick posts that all the time but he does, o'well.

the clock don't start 'till you roll off that line.

For once Mr CowBoy is right.
Your time (et) doesn't start until you break the beams of the starting line. Alot of people get cought up that a worse reaction time will make your et slower.. WRONG!!
On the note of reaction time.. Get that baby down into the .5's
