I went to the track for the first time..
my 60' times were 2.3 twice and 2.17/2.14..now from what im understanding the 60 makes are breaks you..
If i stay the same way nothing changed how do i reduce the 60' time?
is it all in practice or is there something i am missing

im sorry if i missed this on the search but i tried 3x and also went through just about every drag post...thanks for the help...

 

some people have to practice and some people can launch well naturally. most have to practice.

 

its all about practice, hands down, some catch on faster than others...

 

Would be nice to see time slips

60-foot time is important. Reducing 60-foot time by 1/10 second will drop your ET by several tenths. The same with mistakes at the staging pad: they will be magnified several times at the finish line. Since you ran a 2.3 and 2.14 60-foot time, you can see how much of a difference technique makes.

Depending on weather and staging pad preparation, 2.14 seconds may be the best that you are going to get.

 

dude, like they said " practice makes perfect". my first time in an actually track was this weekend and i was only able to get 2.2, 2.3 the whole night, but i was running on stock 17's and bad tires.(bummer)!!!i was disappointed but it was my first time ever on a track and i made a bad dicission by going there with out drag radials or slicks...

 

i thought that might be the case and see'n that it was my first time im totally happy with my times...
i will try and post my slips tonight after work and maybe that will give you a better idea what i might be able to work on or look for when at the track..either way for my first time i had a blast and plan to keep going..
thanks again everyone

 

Thanks for the confidence booster...
I tried to take pics of timeslips but you can't read them...it just glares off the white paper and you can't see anything but white blotches...
anyways thanks for everyones replies...just goin to keep getting out there and practicing ...
thanks again
