rednose RNS10S Donating Members 2,229 Member For: 18y 5m 22d Gender: Male Posted 22/11/12 02:54 AM Share Posted 22/11/12 02:54 AM got 8 runs in.for my first time out at wsid im pretty happy.no dramas and pretty consistent runs once I worked out where the start and finish lines where a best of 13.289 at 104mphwhat I dont understand is how this guy below runs so fast with very similar 60ft times?I ran 2.2 and 2.3 most of the runs yet got nowhere near that kind of et.there sure is alot to learn about this drag racing caper!If you shallow stage you can gain a bit of time and MPH as you give yourself more rollout, so once the first light comes on gently creep your car forward untill the second light comes on, the trick is to stay as far back as you can with the second light on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While 60ft is important, power is too I agree as 5 MPH is a big difference, might be run in a little better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While 60ft is important, power is too I understand that but we are both stock.it turns out he just got a better launch (sedan vs lowered ute)see belowWell done. Your 60ft time is actually 2.04 not 2.2. The 2.2 is your reaction time. ( how long it took you to move after the light went green)makes more sense now.rednose, thanks for that advise, ill try that next time.so if I understand correctly the time doesnt actually start till you clear the light?so by shallow staging your gaining a jump effectively?

I wait a few seconds then go I never worry about "racing" the car next to me as I'm there to get my own times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
