First time at Atco.

Well 2 nights ago was my first time ever racing on the strip and I'm pretty happy. I only got two passes and my first pass was a 14... Ewwwww. I got stage fright and launched late and then shifted from third to second instead of 4th :/ I'm lucky my tranny didn't decide to smack me...literally. So after that pass I got my bearings and went to the line again. I was lined up next to a brand new Vette and my helmet kept rubbing on the roof so I couldn't turn my head... I was nervous again but ready. I had my launch control going at about 5600 without Antilag since I didn't get a chance to turn it on before the track. When the green light went on I slipped the clutch and pulled a 12.7... still messed up 4th gear but atleast didn't downshift. I'm so excited I beat a vette and ran a 12.7 my first time at the strip. Here's the timeslip Let me know what times I can do better on and how.

Good job! how much psi were you running?

Damn nice run.. I cant see your slip but 12.7 is not bad. I remember when I used to get super nervous .. You will get to the point where there is nothing but the light and the tach..

26 Psi on a EvoIII 16G

Pretty cool time dude. Can't wait to hit those time with my faulty fwd! Or course I'm a long way with mods!

Definitely a decent pass for your first time out. The 1.88 60' time, while decent, is where I would start to try and improve. From there, the rest of the run will improve. Find out what the car is doing on the launch. You should be able to see low 1.7's on your street tires. You will need to adjust tire pressure down most likely, if that doesn't do it you may need to drop your launch rpm a bit. Once that is set I'd experiment with shift points. With the power I think you're making at 26 psi, your car should definitely be able to get right down to 12.0 or so....anyway, congrats!

Not bad man! Thats good for a low 12 sec pass with that mile an hour.
