my first try drag racing at atco raceway...
i only had time to run once. next time my friend and i will arrive earlier. i ran up against an older (pre 97?) prelude. my reaction time sucked big time because i ran over the staging light forcing me to back up (pretty nervous). so the yellows fired up within seconds. here are my times:
RT .935 (gag)
60' 2.356 (stock tire pressures)
330 6.419
1/8 9.774 @72.99mph
990 12.593
1/4 15.126 @91.65mph
i need much more practice with the lights (all mental really). i would like to take off a couple tenths and improve on exit speed. it seems difficult but people have done it. the only engine mod i have is a JWT pop-charger. next time i will deflate the front tires and remove my spare. the only things i removed were floormats. after 2nd gear i ran away from the prelude like he wasn't moving. i guess he "stopped driving on me." the prelude's time was 16.549 @ 83.14mph. any comments and advice are welcome.

you ran a 15.1 with only intake........damn...that's pretty good. Get that 60 ft down and you'll almost be in the 14s.

I am an 98' AUTO, I ran a 15.4 With Just an Intake when I First got the car...
Do you guys ever want to meet at Island Dragway? There we can go up MIN 5 Times in one Night. Unlike the 3 or 5 MAX you get at other Tracks.
*Cough* E-Town *Cough*

Geez...and I thought my car had low mileage. Mine is a '96 with around 45k miles.
