so I ran 1 min 38 sec in the 1/4 mile...whats wrong with my car?
Do I need more power or what?
Do you guys hit the gas all the way down when you "race"?
My friend raced his civic and got 17.4 sec.
How do I get my car that fast? It is a rocket.
for real...i go to the burnout box, wheelhop like a **** and line up on the start line. i proceed to stall out 8 times until I get halfway down the track and decide to get out and look at my engine. Turns out my intake midpipe fell off from the wheelhop in the burnout box. That sucked. Put it back together and drove off. I thought I broke something big but no problem, all fixed now. Must have been the slowest COMPLETED 1/4 mile in history.

haha i love it. I ran a 25-28second 1/4 as my first pass of the day one time. everyone laughed at my "stock" maxima 
on the next run, 13.0
if i even begin to wheelhop(rare) or anything is not perfect in a run, im shuttin it down.
glad to hear your car was ok, and yes, i do think you should win some kind of award!
what trap speed? lol, i was ~30mph.. i gotta find that slip!
oh and if you are on regular tires, i wouldnt suggest burning out before running.. maybe just one to two rotations of the tires if anything. I dont even bother spinning street tires at all, and run consistent 2.1 60's

Its the same track that VQdriver(Rudy) hit 14.05 at.
So I dont think hes lining up to the line with water on his tires and hitting 2.1s..and that one 2.0xx he's got.
ill have to ask him what he does. but there is DEFINITELY no way around the water. sometimes it is less wet than other times.
