On 4/28 I will be going to the strip for my first time. sadly i am going up with a 90 fox body with the 5.slow. i am very excited beause it is something new to me and i can show off the SS. i hope to run mid to low 13s. any suggestions for a newb? ...how was your first time to the track??

 

when the last yellow light mash the gas.

 

If you want to hit red then go ahead.

Don't expect to run low 13's on your first time to the strip.


Just have fun, don't worry about anything.

If you're on street tires, then skip the water box.

 

dont worry u wont hit red. the car doesnt have slicks on so it wont launch hard.

 

Yeah the 1st time at the strip never goes how you plan. I went there and did okay, but no where near what I could have hit. Over time I got better and better though. Main thing is reaction time and a good launch.

 

yeah.. I've heard a few different things.. Go when the last light lights up, and go when it goes off.. I've never raced at the track though, so I've only gone by hand flagging and the third honk.. lol..

 

i dunno....my first time to the track i took first out of about 35 cars in the High School class. It was a $1,000 scholarship race. doesn't get much better than that!

 

i am going to have some drag radials for the back...should i hit the water box or no?

 

they are the bfg drag radials...any one know what psi i should run..

 

Yes.

You need to pull up the lane, and back into the water box.


Give them a few seconds burnout.

Then launch her.
