1st time at the track on March 22nd, need tips...

I have the following setup in my sig, and hope to be in the 14's. I have all the traction I need, slight if any spinning off the line. What do you think I'll pull?

Also, when I am staged at the light, do I go on the third amber, or what?

Thanks,

Clint

I would say that 14's are highly possible with that setup.
As for launch. As soon as you see the last amber coming on go for it. Redlighting is not as embarassing as a 1.0 sec light. If you wait for the green to come on that will around a .9 sec light is my guess.

you will easily go into the 14's on mph. your only issue is gonn abe getting that thing away from teh tree. you have a really nice sounding suspension for some canyon carving, but you wil have very little weight transfer. soem ways to help that a little woudl be to air up the frotn sto 45-50psi and lower teh rears to 26-30psi(going much lower can cause radials to cup and lose contact patch)
good luck, have fun, and stage as shallow as you can for teh best ET.

later

Thanks NJ, I will definately use that advice. I hope I can make the east coast F-body nationals as well. Sounds like a real fun time.
