You can sit at the start for 20secs and still run a 13. Your time doesn't start until you break the beam.oh....... damn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2Racing Member 70 Member For: 17y 7m 12d Posted 23/10/07 07:52 AM Author Share Posted 23/10/07 07:52 AM What about the temp issue, where abouts on the gauge would be the best temp to do the run at, am I right with 1/4 temp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand it if you want to be able to crack it, but, surely you want some consistency to as how your car is run, then future mods will show improvment. It sounds like to me and I may be well off the mark. That this 13 thing is a wank factor thing that you want to brag about, but wont tell that you did it on a rolling frame only.Never dragged race, not my thing, but but if you want that 13 practice practice pratice and steadily build up mods till you achieve it.scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2Racing Member 70 Member For: 17y 7m 12d Posted 26/10/07 07:44 AM Author Share Posted 26/10/07 07:44 AM ^^Not quite..... After my first run coming so damn close to breaking the 13 second barrier, and knowing these cars CAN run a 13 in stock form, its more of a test of myself to see if I can get the car to break into that 13 sec pass.... Sure, there is a personal wank factor involved in the aspect that I know ive coaxed my car into performing how I want it to perform, but no brag factor behind it, there is a few grudge races on on the day so obviously I want to get the best time possible.....
