[QUOTE="Crushinator, post: 16644635, member: 111802"] This past weekend I ran my car for the first time with high hopes. I was extremely nervous since the last time I took a car to the track was 15 years ago. I couldn’t get anything to work. I made 4 passes and the line lock would not engage. Worked fine in my driveway the night before, but at the track, nothing. My 60 ft times were horrible. 2.2, 2.3, 2.1 and my best was a 1.93. I did use drag strip mode for all 4 passes. On all passes, coming out of the hole, I had the gas buried. It would light the tires then the traction control would kick in bogging the car. Once it hooked it took off like a bay out of hell. But after watching many videos of guys running 10.6 and 10.7’s at over 130, I was disappointed that my best was an 11.3 at 127. I ran two 11.5’s and an 11.6. All my mph were around 127. My question to those that have success at the strip, what is your launching technique? I aired my rear tires down to about 26 psi. [/QUOTE]
