hit the one on the right

[07gtmustang]

nice I think I'm going to refrain from that one hmusn only 3000 mile but good idea

[HMUSN]

i meant the gas petal.. " the one on the right"

[HMUSN]

if your on street tires remember to feather your clutch or your going to spin way too much.

[07gtmustang]

anything else hmusn what do you think about powershifting how bad is it for the trans

[HMUSN]

very bad for your transmission.

but do it if you want to.

[07gtmustang]

should I leave on the tcs or is that just going to rob hp

[HMUSN]

leave it off. it will bog the hell out of you.

[07gtmustang]

I consider my self a good driver but never been on the track before I know not to do a burn out on street tire cause it will just make them brittle but is there any thing else I should know

[HMUSN]

just remember.. turn your flux capacitor up to 13.2 Jigawats and if you happen to hit 88mph I will see you yesterday.




good luck at the track.

[HMUSN]

and yes you can do a burnout on a street tire..

thats why they have water boxes

[07gtmustang]

you can and there cool but there not going to help my traction there just going to make a normal street tire brittle and not grip as well as it should

[HMUSN]

who told you that?

the purpose of doing the quick burn out is to heat up your tires thus letting the rubber expand for better traction.

I read it in road and track I'll try and find the artical online to post the link it was very intersting and after reading the artical you'll be a beleiver too trust me it's all about the componds in tires and they way certain componds expand thats why they do it with slick b/c of the componds in the tire hold on I'll try and find it

[HMUSN]

go ahead and find it.

I'll be buying my next set of tires shortly.

drag racing costs.

[07gtmustang]

it was in modified mag. they don't have a artical look up but it has to do with the componds it regular street tires I have no reason to make this up just tring to save some tires

Drive AROUND the water box... don't put any of your four tires in it. Straighten out and do a small small burnout because there streetires. then roll up to the line. Idk what rpm you launch at but just slip the clutch so you don't spin.

[07gtmustang]

flattusmaximus78 you goto the strip alot right do you have an auto or stick

[flattusmaximus78]

It's my dads car but like I said EVERY wed and fri were at the track and I race it. It's an auto.

But burnouts and tc play a big role.

Thats our first time ever to the track. The first run there was no burnout and tc was left on. 13.6

The second run was tc off and a small burnout.

The third one is the same combo

The 4th and 5th runs were small burnouts... you want to be able to see just a little smoke and then don't just stop, make sure you roll out of it to the line. The track feels like a slippery concrete so when u mash it theres no traction but with a good burnout you can leave at a strong rpm. When it's your first time out don't expect to run the best times like 13.5 or .6. Get use to the track and get some seat time. Then watch your times go down.
