  • Any Tricks before I go racing?

    some of you might know some tricks or sumtin while ur at the track......fork em over!!

    So far Ive put synthetic oil in, fan switch, took a lil weight out, using 275/40/17 BFG Drag Radials instead of 245/45/16 Nittos that are 1 inch taller and the BFGs are 1.5 inches wider.

    What else?

    Gas tank? You could always go out and just gas it for a few minutes to burn the weight off. :cool:

                      well, it is time to get into teh 12's with the mighty power of boost.
                      i suggest airing up the front tires to 50psi. this will help get teh car rolling easier and help with teh roll out down track.
                      if you wanna grab a bit more hook off the line, drop the pass side endlink off the sway bar. it will allow the front to traavel up further and lay more pressure on the rear tires.
                      play wiht teh rear tire pressure and burnout. the more air you can run adn still hook the better the car will roll at the other end of the track.

                      the biggest thing of all is to take your time and get the car staged nice and shallow. since you are goin for tiem shots it is a good chance to practice staging and give yourself teh max amount of space to get the car moving before the timers start.

                      good luck!

                        -air up the fornts to 12 psi
                        -remove front sway
                        -ride the clutch a little in the staging lanes to get it a little warm(well not you auto boy! ;) )
                        -Shallow stage
                        -Ice intake(still pretty warm aorund here)
                        -Put brick on gas pedal and jump out(weight savings)

                        Seal he runs at Orlando Speed World, on highway 50, about 20 minutes from I-95, just outside of Orlando.

                          b/f you run always do this:

                          stand on one foot.
                          Then once your nice and steady, start hoping up and down.
                          Once you've got that down, rub your tummy w/ your left hand.
                          then pat your head w/ your right hand.

                          Do this for 30 seconds. Then the 60' gods will be w/ you.
