mods include: ypipe,catback,cai,,, and im auto..

anyone have any pointers besides just practice... that i could do to get lower times.... i didn't go through the water on any runs and im running stock gxe steelies...

thnx.

 

doing any regular mainteance that might be due. (plugs, fuel filter, etc.) take all the junk out of the car including spare tire, jack, etc. lower the psi in the front for better traction. check the filter on the cai to make sure its not covered in dust/dirt. did you torque brake or just punch it when the tree dropped?

 

just got new plugs. and changed my ks....

i need to change my fuel filter. but don 't have time at th moment.

i know i can take my sub out, im trying to sell it anyway....

and the first two runs i just punched it...... the rest i torque braked it

 

Man if your kS is in good shape, with your mods you should be running low 15's Ben is running 15 flat with fewer mods. How are you launching? you should at least be able to pull a low 2.3 60'

 

P.S. steele sucks. You need to make the drive down to MMP sometime. I will be running there a good bit over the next couple months.

 

where is mmp?

and got to keep in mind.. that was my first time ever to race a car...

was launching around 1500 i think..

 

Montgomery Motorsports Park

 

hmmm.. sounds fun... i will definetley come down sometime.. just not sure when..

 

Good luck next time

 

cool ! you got in some good runs !! how did you enjoy the racing ?

 

I am going to MMP on the 13th !!! Hope it's not too packed so I can get a lot of runs on my first trip to a 1/4 mile track.

Only ever ran 1/8, and possibly the worst track in america.

 

Although steelies suck, me and Ben have run great times with them. This fellas issue is his driving. His 60' foots are terrible.
