Default went to the track!!!! surprised the hell out of me

well ok
the first runn was horriable because i didnt know how to line up. and ****
when i got going tho i ran 12.7 i dont know how the hell i did that thats friggin crazy lol the clock was messed up
i was wishing it wasnt tho
then the secound time i got better lined up and i raced a truck and well if my reaction time wasnt so bad and **** i think i woulda beatem
but non the less the truck had a 14 something sec runn i had 16.880 the last time i race my homie
he raced me before and and i beat him so he went got a short shifter and a full exhust and then we raced at teh track he beat me cuz my clutch is burnt somewhat so yea he beat me by 200th of a secound 16.4 and i had 16.6
i think thats extreamly good for a stock neon with short ram and a magnaflow 40series
i have videos if any one is intreasted

Not too bad. Although I ran 16.3 completely bone stock and possibly could have done better then that. I have fun even if my car is slow.

Reaction time doesn't have anything to do with your final time. A slipping clutch would hinder your time though. Get a new clutch and then go back, should be quicker.

lol i know im just a chill person love joking around alot
keeps me from being gangster a real gangster and ****. but the vaccum leak might be a reason but also your driving style
the granny shifting and **** like htat what did you shift at? me i redlined all the gears and i shifted like i was tring to burn my clucth like i would clutch but keep reving and shift and then still reving let go of the cluctch. i also took the bottom portion of the rear seats out thats barely 20 pound i htink and took the rear tire out.
just so you know im getting long tube header and a short shifter and strut bars and a grounding kit. and thats all the mods i will do for a while.
hey i just thought of something i coulda got a better time if both my tires where the same psi one was like 20 and the other one was like 30 somehting and also i have the stock rims maybe thats why

speaking of tire pressure.... whats should your tire pressure be at the track.... you just lower the front pressure right?
