well the flashlight drags is definatly just for fun! there are even alot of people there that will only race friends! and its just a 1/8 mile. Now i agree that the 1/4 mile with timeslips is a good judge of our cars before and after, but as we can all see bye any of our sucky times its mostly how well you drive and how much you want to beat your clutch. Not saying that 13. 2 is bad but a 1.82 60ft isnt really going do it when it comes to good times! altho i'd be happy with that myself after my first time out there. my best was 2.0. So there is alot of variables there to take into account when your talking "just like a dyno"

Im still tossing around which one to do myself prp or flashlight drags! It really all depend on the wife. if she is interested in going or not. I would like to get some good numbers before the winter at prp but after that last rain out, i was so pissed!

GO PENS!

eh i wouldn't worry about it. my times will probably be painfully high too. i am still figuring out exactley how to shift.

it's a whole different game from my 3 previous crappy N/A v6's.


that's also the main reason i have never been on a track. i never had anything worth taking.

same here man, i came from a V6 camry. It was actually fast coming from my 87 F150. haha. I've never raced my car either as I'm still perfecting driving a manual transmission. Rev matching is pretty easy for me now, but i still make some mistakes. Never miss shifts though. I'm sure Dan will eventually talk me into racing at PRP, but I don't think it will be this year. Oh and NTB is buying me two new wheels guys! I couldn't beleive it. They are messed up though, so I definately deserve 4, but 2 will suffice.

sometimes i hesitate from 1st to second and miss it. that is my biggest problem. hesitation will always kill good shifting.
