hmm...i think your tires are killing you. we should be able to get you down into the mid/low 13's and your mph around 102-105...r/t doesnt matter, 60ft with decient tires and not slipping the clutch to little/to much out of the gate should be 1.9 at worst, 1.7 at best on a stock clutch

of course i am no expert, that is just my experience. but hey man, good job, your better than some. hell, i had to watch some jabronie pull 21 second 1/4s in a X, i wanted to kick him in the nads. retard.

I would say this time of year, a 2.0 60' is not too bad on crappy tires. It would be real hard to pull put a 1.7 though, even on a warm track.

Im sure it'll get better with time and practice in the drivers seat. I was real nervous every run lol. I basically kept telling my self not to pop the clutch or break anything. I may go back once more this year if we get acouple people to go like yesterday and then next year I should be going down to the track with some bolt ons and a tune but ill definatly buy new tires then.

Yea I went to the track thinking id be running mid to high 13's but I couldnt expect much since it was only my 1st time. It was pretty fun though so thats all that matters.

19DB794 are you the spoilerless GG ix?

I'm the one with the VTECLOL plates...

As tony mentioned, weather was cold, I also spun all through first missed 4th gear pretty bad and only managed a 12.4@108.

I'm going to try this friday again, want to touch 11's before the season is over!

Josh (19DB794) has a GG IX MR with his wing. I didn't know there was a wingless GG around, gonna make me feel less original. lol. Not really. Still gonna get that second trunk painted up and on the car.

As Ajay said I have a GG IX MR with a wing. Im not sure who owned the wingless. I watched one of his passes and he ran a 14.3. I saw your Evo though. I was standing next to Tony wehn he was talking to you before your lane began to roll up. I also weighed my Evo and it weighs 3,520lbs but thats with the spare tire, full tank of gas, my work tools which weigh around 50-75 lbs and me.
