From Tewksbury, and New England Dragway is probably the closest around here.

That is about average for you car. You have no mods in your sig, so I am assuming it is stock?

[JakeDrummer]

yup she's bone stock. I had the tire presure at 20psi and i was launching at 5,000 rpm.

yo jake, nice run man! --- that was your first time at the track and you had a 2.43 60' time, just think, you shave that 60' time down and you could break 14's bone stock!

- btw what did you take out of your car when you gutted it?

good job representing the gsr's man

yeah i felt cool cuz I was one of the only one there with a gs-r. everyone had LS or ITR's. So what do you think about my reaction time of .667?

I had my back seat, passenger seat, floor mats, and spare tire out of the car, thats my gutting. lol

yah i know i need practice, I got knocked out of the first elimination by a CRX running a H22 with slicks... I dialed in at 15.0 that time, ran a 15.1 again and he ran a 15.0 like perfectly.... for some reason i didn't think it was to fair of a matchup... lol. he had a .02 reaction time also... lol. he was like a 1/8 mile out in front of me before i even got moving, and then hit his brakes so he stayed under and didn't break out. I watched him run a high 13 earlyer in the day. grrr oh well i was sorta frusterated about that, I was trying to drop the clutch like everyone was telling me on the last yellow, but i guess i just need practice.

the track costs $35... is that alot?

Man that is crazy. Here it is $10 to watch and $15 to race, so you can guess what most people do

yah its $10 to watch and $35 to race. they had the place packed though, both with people watching and race cars. we had all 13 or 14 staging lanes full of cars.... just think about this... a block of imports 14 cars wide and about 600-700 feet long. it was nuts, i was there from 9am - 4pm and I raced 6 times.

I was in contact with the track last winter trying to convice them that they need to lower the cost somewhat so high schoolers can afford to keep it off the streets and bring them on the track, but no, what do they do? raise the cost 10 bucks... last summer I think it was $25 to race.
