First Time Drag Racing The Car.

I went to Atlanta Dragway over in Commerce, GA this past Friday and raced the car for the first time. It was also my first time racing – period. I think I can shift fairly quick, it’s just launching the car that kills me. As you can see from the following graphic, my 60′ times suck – bad.  I’m fairly confident the car is capable of lower 12’s with a proper launch. My very first run looks funny because I missed a gear. I believe the R/T given on the slips is the R/T – 0.500. So those could be much better, too. I believe once I’m more comfortable with it, period, I’ll be able to concentrate more on launching correctly.
