Re: post latest 1/4 and 1/8 mile times and 60ft.

Today was my first time at a drag strip. Got six runs in. Had a great time.

Good job PJ. Now if you can improve your 60 ft times then you might get a high 13 sec run. I am sure you were spinning out of the hole. Also if you deep stage on the second bulb you should get a better reaction time.

Your assessment is dead on. I really struggled with throttle control in first. I was too heavy out of the hole, and then I'd ease off and not get to full throttle as soon as I should have. My reaction times were all terrible. I definitely have lots of room for improvement. Sounds like an excellent excuse to go again soon! My daughter expressed interest in going, too.

Yes Sir, It takes practice but it is soooo much fun. That's a big plus if your daughter is interested. It helps teach them that its better to do this sort of thing at the track than on the street. Safely and Cheaply!! Here is a pic of my weekend S10 that I race at the track.
