You do not want to do a burn out with street radials. It will not help you at all, if anything it will hurt you. When you see people warming up there tires they have slicks or drag radials which are made out of a very soft rubber and become very sticky once theyre heated up. And as stated above avoid going through the water box.

 

UPDATE!!!! 1/8 of a mile track
well i couldnt help not burning out off the line.....i just dont have it in me so....the best i ran was a 10.401 at like 66.36mph
the best reaction time was also on that run at .647

i lowered the tire pressure like you guys said...i did burnout though....I was consistently running 10.4's and the only thing that ever through me off was reaction time....

one of my drags i raced a old mustang mach 1....and i beat it!!!! lol it was the best crap ever!!! he had a bad reaction time and for some reason just couldnt catch up to my neon....it was old and mustve been bone stock...he was mad at me for winning and didnt seem to want to talk to me ..... Also...the lady running the pre-stages wouldnt ever let me race my friends that wouldve been a close nice even race...i was always stuck against blown cudas, and cobras!!!
I did beat that one old mach 1 though...lol

my friends were driving a 5-speed mustang v-6 and a 6-speed tiburon v6...(both manuals)....FYI all my GOOD times beat my friends mustang the best he had was a 10.4 and I was running 10.4's consistent....the tiburon was running anywhere from 10.37 to 10.5 average....so if it came down to it...i would put all these cars in the same bracket....

that was the first time i went and it was fun!!!!! sorry i typed so much and next week im trading in the neon for a srt-4!!!!! awesome!!!

 

Your reaction time has nothing to do with your 1/8 mile time or any other times. It does not start timing untill you cross the beam. Also what where your 60ft times?

 

damn sounded like fun, i cant wait to take my neon out next month

 

yeah i cant wait for my srt-4 next week!!! im so psyched....well i noticed all of my slips that have better times have better reaction times which makes sense to me....i'll look for the 60 ft times...

 

off topic, but you never did respond to my PM Kapital lol about the cluster...

 

hmm..sorry i thought i did ill go look....

my 60 ft times were as follows: 2.568 2.419 2.342 2.513 2.352 and 2.675

coincidentally.....my lowest at 2.342 had the best reaction time and my highest at 2.675 had the worst reaction time with a foul lol

it was my first time ever going and i think i would do much better next time....

 

congrats on getting da srt-4
