CRUISE NIGHT RESULTS! (DRAG RACE FROM ME)
 

hey everyone, remember me ?

i've been away for a while preparing/working/schooling around alot completely forgetting about the forum.
well, last tuesday i JUST finished going to cruise night. which was free drag races from 5-7.

i made a post a few weeks ago asking what i should do cause i was a virgin @ drag racing and what not and asked for advice.

well to start off, i DID strip the car. every panel and uneccesarry thing i dont need. i practiced launching a few times near my house cause clutch dumping is kinda bad for awd i hear.

so ... when i went to the track, some old ass charger was in front of me slowly driving up in line. i had a feeling i was gon' race him and lucky me ... i did.
so, he burnt out, and i patiently waited for him so we can run.

light turned yellow, i revved pretty high and dumped the clutch at 7k rpm. i had a better reaction time, but he sadly kicked me in the balls pretty hard being 12.1 @ 114 mph.

i was 15.1 @ 88mph. :(:(:(

BUT NOW ITS AN ADDICTION! my goal is at least 12-13 with decent shifting. (cause im a "bad shifter" ... says my cousin)

video coming soon....


anyway, how is errbody? long time no talk people !??!

Yea man I only did a 12.3 at 114mph my shifts were super slow and my launches were not as good as they should be

what do you have done? and i'm assuming ur driving a GSX from ur s/n? (there are 1 or 2 ppl on here w/ 'GST' in their s/n and they are running rs and gs that's why i ask.)

what was your 60ft. Because in an AWD you dont want to just dump the clutch

RE: CRUISE NIGHT RESULTS! (DRAG RACE FROM ME)
 

^^ true. my friend w/ his VIII found that launching between 5100 and 5300rpm's was the best launch RPM.

slip the clutch, never dump it. You did good. Keep on with the practice, and you should cut that time down for sure.
