Should I go to the track?

I am too scared to go to the track because I think the car will run really slow. Or I will fuck up on a run.

anyone know where there are some Southern California tracks that I can tell myself I am going to go to and then end up getting too scared I am going to suck?

Just go man, at the very least for the learning experience. What is there to worry about? So what if you don't do good times, try launching at different rpms, different launch techniques. It's all about learning the first times you go anyways; no one runs 12's the first time they're at the track (unless they have a 10-11 second car of course). I'm considering going to the track myself in my stock CX just to practice launching good and work on reaction times before I do a swap; and I'm curious if my car will do better than 20 seconds that I think it'll probably run ;). If you don't beat anyone who really cares, it'll just motivate you to work harder on getting better the next time you go.

Go there. Then you can know for sure if you suck.

do you think a ZC with I/E would be able to run good times if i was a good driver?

prolly mid 15's or so with a decent driver. right? ide go to the track but its about an hour away and ide be doing like 4500 rpms the whole way there. i dono if thats alright to do that to my engine.

i raced my stock CX Last year! 18.5 was my best run, and that was on my first run, the others were like 18.7, 19.2 etc
i wanna go back up again tho because it was a blast

I just went to the track last week and there was an std hatch there. He was running 20's. All sorts of people run at my track. SUV's, minivans, all sorts of slow imports and domestics... A lot of people just do it for fun. You'll probly end up getting 15.5-16's

just do it. your learning, who gives a F**k what other people think.
the way i see it is they see the car is slow now ... but when i come back one day and something is not stock anymore people are gonna be like damn that was fast for a civic. and i have a 91 4 door, just think of the looks i get, some 16 year old kid driving the shit out of his slow civic... :bigthumb:

where you at in so cal ?? pomona has a track if you are near 909...
and just practice launches at a parking lot or something at midnight like everyone else, youll be fine man... just focus, block everything else out... this is where confidence kicks in dude... shoulders back, chest out, chin up soldier !!!
