Read this...it's geared towards corvettes but it mostly applies to any RWD platform

I keep a copy of his launch and burnout tips in my glove box.

Friday night ill be running in the street legal class not because I'm ready but because its the only track time I can get in this week due to track schedules.... Ill have fun n work on some things....

Also have a question about shifting.. How do u guys shift, is it like regular driving but faster or do u keep ur foot on the accelerator with out removing it n jus depress the clutch rapidly while shifting into gear ? Prolly a noob question but I'm new at racing n can use all the advice I can get....

Alberto, I'm sure u have an infinite knowledge of all things Z n I appreciate that (not tryin to be funny).. All I ask is that we stay focused on the topic of this thread...
I believe all NHRA tracks are set to 0.00 seconds. IHRA may be using a 0.50 second tree.
