First time on 1/4 mile
 

Made one pass at Ennis last night. 13.4 @ 112. That was my first ever run on a track so I'm not really disappointed. I let out way too early on the launch so I would probably been closer to 13 if I would've stayed in it.

just takes some time. Your MPH is right about where it should be if your stock. I have ran 12.6@111 so just practice and you will get there

That's actually a good mph for that ET. Practice the launch, maybe get some DR's. It gets a bit addicting, especially when you get the hang of it and start going faster each time out.

My very first time was 13.2 at 113mph. Everything stock except for a tune, and my tires were so bad like almost bald. 60' was like 2.2

I think tires make the biggest difference. I had to take off right off idle, and couldn't shift fast or else I'd be all over the place. I got 275's potenza rear tires now and I still burn out all first and second but not as bad the stock pirellis

The right tire combo will help a lot. If you try to do a high rpm launch on street tries you are just going to spin like crazy. I seem to have the most success doing a 2500rpm launch and feathering the crud out of the clutch to keep the most traction and the engine rpms turning I was able to squeak out a 12.9 @ 112 so far which was on street tires and my first outing to the 1/4 track.

Practice makes perfect.

Uh oh Josh is going to be all over this comment ;)

12.6. Ryan just thinks he's as cool as me. Haha.

What was your 60ft?

Haha surprised nobody caught that

My 60 ft was 2.2, but like I said I got a lil loose and didn't wanna take a chance lol. I've got a tune and Cai. I know I should've run faster, practice makes perfect.

Yeah you should be able to cut a 1.9-2.0 60 and that will get you in the 12's. I usually revved it up to 2k and slip the clutch out. These cars still make more than enough power to blow off the crappy tires.

I have really good tires, but for street. I'm not disappointed at all though. Still a good run for my first.

What kind? No it's not bad at all. Just takes some seat time.

Josh, you have DR's fool, I don't launch at any rpm, I roll out. Spin city FTL! haha

That's what I did on my pirellis dumb dumb. I cut 1.9s no problem. It's not my fault you can't control your clutch. Haha. You don't dump the clutch. You slip it. Fastest I managed stock was a 8.2 in the 1/8 but only went out twice.

Scott, you've been to the track once on Super sport 20s with 550 hp. Lol.

11.9!

Haha, thats how I roll brah.... or spin in that case rofl. Was happy with my times considering it was my first time on a drag strip.

Yeah! You did good. It's no 11.9.... But still good.

This guy...

Careful Danny. I'll ban you from the sexiest DFW5.0s club.

LOL! I'm surprised you haven't changed your avatar to 11.6!!!!!

I was able to manage a 13.25 @ 110.5 after about 4-5 other passes back in August. So your MPH is definitely there. I was taking it easy out of the hole after watching someone go into the wall after my first pass. :(

Hey me and a couple other people from the Fuzzy meet in Mansfield, were out there in Ennis that Saturday night. We saw you and your buddy run, why did yall only make one pass and leave?

We went to a car meet back in Fort Worth. A lot of guys we know were there.
