First time at the track

[mustang372004]

Ok so tonight I went to the track for the first time with some of my friends. My times were embrassing but it was good fun cause me and one of my friends always had close races everytime we raced. The only thing I have to brag about is one of my reaction times out 6 of my runs it was a .053. I would say thats not bad for my first time at the track.

funny that the drag racing talk is being done in the street racing forum, not the drag racing forum?

[mustang372004]

yeah my bad but I've been getting so used to posting in the street racing forum that I just forgot that it was supposed to go in the drag racing forum.

What type of Mustang do you own author? I'd say juding from the mph it is a V6. Those times aren't that bad for your first time at the track. One trick I learned with the staging lights is to go on the 3rd yellow light. My best is .563 reaction time. Keeping things consistant is the key. I applaud you for posting your times. People will always rag on your 60' time (Trust me I was ripped on continuosly for a 2.3 sec. 60'). Then again I saw alot of people at the track that I could outdrive. I think most people post BS times on the internet. BTW every tenth taken off your 60' is good for 2 tenths in the 1/4 mile. My best 60' so far is 1.9 sec. with my EVO.

1997 V6 stang auto and I always seemed to jump my friend off the line cause I would go on the third light. Thanks for the advice 2000LS1Z28.

my best r/t was a .505, anyone got me beat?

that's the thing I can do best at the track is get a good r/t not like it matters with the time but maybe one day it'll help if i get into brackets

man that is excellent. Anything in the .5s is good for just a foot break, but that is awesome even for our class (bracket 1-delay boxes and trans break allowed).

And if you start bracket racing, that will def. win you more races then you can imagine. You kill the tree that bad and you'll either run down the car your racing fast and can let up to keep from breaking out, OR be so far in front of the car that is spotting you that they will break out catching you.

yea I can usually get most faster cars out of the hole then the car over performs the driver. I just need better tires!
