Re: first time racing need help

Without upgrading anything, all you can work on is your launch and your shifts (speed and at what rpm you are shifting).

Typical turbo MR2s hit 1.9-2.1s in the 60'.
I would not expect much better than that with sucha skinny tire.

In an ideal world you would have a set of lightweight wheels with drag radials mounted on them for drag racing.
