Not the first time, and I guess it wont be the last time.
I guess it is just because I have a little one.

Engine that is, in comparison to yours.
But I did have a ball and will be doing it again.

Now that is a first. 
Usually you girls complain we're way too quick .
No wonder we're confused little puppies.

MPH was quite good!!!
Improve those 60 footers and you looking clearly into the 12's (But I know they are hard to hook up.)
PS Dont worry about reaction times. The timer doesn't start till you cross the beam.

Oh, that burst my bubble, here I was thinking I could get close to the 12's just by improving my reaction time.
Oh well, better just make it run properly first, maybe do a bigger burnout to warm the tyres up and try not to loose traction.

If you are just there to get a good ET down, leave when you are ready to leave. Forget all about RT, it has zero impact on your ET or MPH.
Concentrate on a good 60' and you will get your times down. |

It's all about practice.
And some Mickey tyres for the rear.
You've got to keep it in perspective, that's still a very quick 1/4 mile time. Well done mate.
How does you gearing work out at the end of the run? What rpm are you doing when you cross the 1/4 mile mark. |

Crossed the line at about 4500 - 5000 rpm in 4th gear.

Exactly what I was saying...
Unless you know you are going to toast the other person, its good to let them get away and leave a few seconds later....or else...
