Negative.

Ralliart + Good Driver + Bolt Ons = 14's.
Ralliart + Turbo = 13's

I know that what really messed me up was my launch. It was my first time at thr track and I only got 2 chances to run, so, I need more track time...that and new mounts

So they stop the operations for about an hour. At that time I finally set up at the tree, stage.

1rst Pass

15.67 @ 87.8

.520 RT

2.3 60 feet

10.0 1/8 mile @ 71.2 mph

2nd Pass I missed 4th.......... 15.7 @ 87.76

And I have the Injen Cai....How come my times suck so much

Funny thing, after leaving the track I raced a Civic HB that was running 15.0 and I beat it three times...wtf?

Can someone shed light and tell me WTF I did wrong?
I was shifting at redline, launched pretty decently, shifting nice and fast


Shift at 6100 rpms... don't waste for 400 more.

Why get "mad" about a crappy time ?!?

Life goes on.

If you did it for a living, then it would be a different story...

it seems like now days the "new low" et's are in the 15's common, let's be serious about this , i mean if you really wanna post somthing worth for everybody to see and say "hey, that Ralliart is fast" than do some major Mods to your car, go to the track then come back here and post like low 12's and then i will be impressed.

ya man, get ur launch down. were u getting wheel hop or spin? you dont really need new mounts or an LSD to fix that...just practice. you should be able to launch a 2.1 as your car is now. just gotta get used to it. keep at it, its the only way. you can get every NA mod on the market now, and its not gonna help much until you get the launch figured out. and the fact that you only got 2 runs never helps. my first time out, my best run was 15.9! just keep at it

so maybe we should just get rid of little leage and highschool sports while we are at it, since its just a waste of time. thats about the worst argument ive ever heard. i dont mean to sound like a jerk, but do you think that any NHRA pro series racer ever started out in a pro series drag car? some were lucky enuf to start out in a jr dragster or by doing carting, but most start with what they can get their hands on, and thats a 'daily driver'. at least, its a daily driver at first

High 14s are possible with racing slicks I'm sure even on a stock Ralliart.

I dont think those time are disastrous! they are average I would say!

I use to drive an awd talon at the drag! In only 3 run I did the same times as you did! I also have only the Injen Cai. And I wasnt shifting that fast since the car wasn't pass the 1000kilometers yet. So I was easy on it.

my 60' are a bit better, but thats it!. And it was freakin cold outside!

actually I am going back to the drag on saturday! I'll keep you up to date!
No more granny shifting this time!

How is it a waste of time if you are going to have fun? That's like saying that you shouldn't go to a batting cage unless you are on a baseball team, or you shouldn't go to a driving range unless you are in a golf tournament. Tracks wouldn't be open to the general public if they didn't want...well...the general public.
