Went to the Drag Strip Today

Went an hour and a half to the nearest track today and ran my car..

Got 5 runs in before i left. Ran a modded turbo DSM twice, an integra, a CRX and a civic hatch.

DSM detroyed me. The civics pulled away at the start and i reeled them in at the end of the track (no replacement for displacement).

Best time i mustered was a 14.950 at 95.61mph.

The other times were all around 14.95 or 14.99. Slowest was a 15.061. Atleast my car is consistent....

Im kinda disappointed with my times. Another AT sedan was there with just a spacer and z tube, and he ran a 14.7 every time.

I think it may have been my wheels and tires, plus a sub in the trunk.

Here are the videos.

There is another day at the end of May. Im going to take my dads 08 out and see what that can run.

It was a lot of fun though.

Not bad for your first time at the track. Don't get disappointed, you will notice improvement with practice. You definitely want to limit your weight for drag racing though. Remove sub box and anything else in the trunk, spare tire etc. I usually run with 1/4 tank of gas when I go.

Car looking dope bro. You could probably be in the mid 14s without the 19s, and the sub in the trunk. Maybe even lower.
