don't speak of racing on the streets on the forum

anywho, it was probably one of those nights where your friend might of been shifting perfectly or you could of been a tad bit slower than usual.

where does it say you're supposed to use synthetic? I know I only used synthetic since it's a good thing, but it's not mandatory.

it was neither the lowering no the oil... they wouldn’t cause you to go slower... as far as what it could be - WAY too many variables.

was it a fat chick as your passenger?
you know how the saying goes "no fat chicks, car will scrape" but in your case it slowed down.

Wait When I Keep Capitalizing Each Word, Do I Get MY Point Across Better.

im just kidding, did you do a burnout first, maybe it was your traction, you were at the track right?

Burnouts only help when you have track slicks on.. not street tires...

and having another person in the car can affect the race...

Weight is a critical factor... also a big omission in the original post.

Contemplating lowering and the car or changing the oil being a factor in slower ET and not considering the difference in having a passenger or not… in addition to doing a burnout with street tires all lead to one thing… OP needs to spend some time in this forum to get some tips on racing.
