My recent day at the drags

[HSVREDSLED]

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...
