Car needs a retune/alignment badly. I'll be heading over to Ivey once I figure out what snail to put under the hood. Overall I think with a retune, a better 60', and a nice alignment, the car has a 11.9 in her. This is my first time ever drag racing so I'm hooked!

 

bro, thats pretty good.. have you been to track before with another vehicle?

 

Congrats!! not bad!

 

thats crazy good times...that launch was spot on. My first time I pulled a 2.11 60'

 

Nope this was my first time at the track. After 6 years of ownership I guess just know my car. This was my first time using the 2 step and it sounds awesome! Ive lived behind the track for 7 years and always heard the noise but never contributed to it

My first run I ran a 13.3 @ 106 with a 2.2 60' and I hit the rev limiter in 3rd gear by accident so it killed my time. Went back to the pits noticed my tire pressure was damn near 40 PSI . Dropped the pressure on the front to 30 psi and the rear to 28 psi and she just kept hooking up. I had consistent 1.7 60's over the next 3 runs. Car is full weight.

The 12.4 run was against this loud *** mustang who was pretty intimidating. All the previous runs were against the loudest civics on the planet running 15's.

Honestly with a retune and a good alignment (recently installed struts so it definitely off) I can prob pull off a real low 12.

 

yea nice, especially for a first timer..make sure u get that allignment asap, before u know the inside of your tires will peel like an orange.
