Nice times buddy . Just messing with you. The same will happen to me next spring when I hit the track for the first time ever. Maybe by then my friend will have his BMW 540i to own my a**. Keep your chin up, you'll do better next time. Practice launching down your street, I swear the neighbors love it.

 

wow bro crazy stuff. its all good man i was nervous my first track visit too. well now you know whats going on, so next you should be all good. let us know how your next track visit goes. as far as the drama is concerned, it sucks but get use to it. there's always some BS thats going on. blown up cars, weather, people driving like idiots, etc etc. i always get a maximum of 2 runs in. sometimes i think why waste my time and money. i guess thats the way it is. and people wonder why street racing is popular.

 

thanks guys.

i do lol. my launches werent all that bad, well beside my RT lol.

 

looks like i'll be going to the track for the first time on saturday, i'll let you guys know how that turns out assuming the weather is nice. mike, i'll be interested to see what time you REALLY get, meaning when you launch, and hit every gear correctly.

 

well things will be different next week, may have diff wheels on too.

 

no worries mike, we'll get some cooler nights soon, and that alone will help. not to mention the gay pants man, that would have shot any man's nerves. next time wear your lucky underpants (every guy has a pair), and you'll see high 14s. that or your engine will blow up.

 

who says i wear underpants? i doubt i will hit high 14s, id just be happy with low 15s at this point

 

Just like lively jay said, launch on your street! My neighbors have some type of tolerance. They just want to see me buy more tires.

 

yeah i hear ya on that one bro. most people are hitting 16.5's with basic bolt on's. intake, header, exhaust. let us know how it turns out. i'm sure you'll hit 15's when you eliminate the traction/shifting problems.

 

First time I took my Lancer to the track i ran a 19.281

That was with a slushbox lancer with a full tank of gas and a 300lb system in the trunk. And the lancer wouldnt let me redline every gear.

 

300lb system? hell yeah rock that **** up and down the track

 

i pulled out my spare and rear seat and still ran those crappy times.

 

.......... its all good man. like you said bad launching and shifting problems.

 

oh and i realize that i never miss shifted trying to get into 3rd, i got locked out there too. the next night it happend 2 or 3 more times at high rpms and i did it slower to see.

 

Hey mike, you know how much h/p your getting now?
