I went to Pacific Raceways today. to run the 1/4 mile.
It was very very long ass wait time to just Run one run. we got their around 10am, and didn't get to run street tire class until 1:30pm. by that time I was sunburn and extremely bored and just wanted to go home.
So I pull Around the water box and line up, watch the guy give me the signal to burn out, so I do a 2 or 3 sec burn out and go past the staging lights a little like 1/2 car.. embarrassed I put it into reverse and get to staging lights.
needless to say people were laughing at me in the stands.
So next to me a 2010 TSX with comp tech supercharger pushing 9 lbs boost. I didn't pay it any attention just thought to my self Crap all i get is one run , lets get this over with so I can go home.
I have Never Done professional drag racing at all, I only know what i know from just street racing, and learning by watching the other cars go as well. I have a new respect for the pro drivers because Drag racing is actually harder then i thought it was going to be. Never underestimate the dam tree, and by all means learning the track / feelings of how sticky for grip it is are very hard for me with this car because 1 run.
Anyways, I launched at like 3k rpm and lit up 1st gear though redline - spinning wheels.
shifted into 2nd gear and roasted the tires a little more, untill they hooked around 6k rpm then finally snapped me into the back of seat like I was driving a new car. I said to my self wtf nice traction all of a sudden, so redlining 2nd, shiffted - then 3rd shiftted again, into 4th and then it was over.
I ran a 13.2 @ 108. New track / never dragged raced before with the k motor, and 17" Advans with good year fearce crap tires LOL..
I was in the right lane.
My friends say I could get into the 12s very easy with 1 actually doing a few passes to get a better hole shot, and not spining 1 and 2nd gears. also if I had drag radials ? I could shave alot of time as well.
I did not build this car for Drag - its a time attack / super lap battle car so I'm glad to see it did ok, but I dont think Im going to go back to the strip anytime soon.
My L15 Stock ran a 17.01 and with a swap ran 13.2 very possibly into the 12/s.

That tsx had a horrid 60' time, he must have been not understanding the concept of launching one bit.
On another note, a 2.27 60' for your first time out in a s/c fwd car is pretty good especially on street tires, however im suprised you didnt trap higher. What are you tipping the scales at in the fit?
