Go around the water. Turn your tires over just enough to get all the rocks and such off, the yokos get gooey instead of sticky when you burn them up. Roll up and turn on the first stageing light. Wait for you opponet to light his first light. Then you can roll up to your second light. Dont stall the yank too high. About 1k is good then flash it on your take off. You will probally want to leave when the third yellow lights up but this will vary on you traction. You may or may not be able to nail it off the line depending on track prep. Good luck you track virgin.

 

Just don't be like me and burnout before they tell you to. They get pissed.

 

Flip those mirrors in and leave the tailgate at home or flip it down...id usually hit it on the 2nd yellow light, but i am on 20s with goodyear GT2s.... no traction city...depending on your traction youll adjust to when you launch also dont be discouraged if your fist time is bad...my first run ever was a 15.9 i got excited and just mashed when i saw green...i got smoked by a northstar caddy... 2 runs later i was pullin 15.1s the rest of the night..that was wiht a upd and hpp3...good luck...and do NOT go through the water traps! i wanna see some mid 13s

 

oh you WILL run. there's no way i'm letting you drive all the way here and not run.

bad news though. because the event saturday is supposed to be like a legal form of street racing, they wanna use some stupid *** "instant green" lights. where you pull up, pre-stage, stage, BAM green. none of those other yellow lights come up. i went to the track's forum at www.noproblemraceway.com and asked if they could change it. maybe if enough people ask they will.

but if they don't, i'd wouldn't worry about beating the person next to you or reaction time, and just focus on getting good launches.

 

GET 'EM TONY! I have been tring to get him on a track for over a year now. Dont let him wuss out this time.
The tried the instant green when they first started street night over in Mobile. No one liked it so the went to a pro tree after that. I still like a sportsman tree the best though.

 

Allright...no need to get hostile I'm going to run....It will be the sweetest 20 second pass you've ever seen.

 

Good luck ranwalk. I don't think I have ever seen a 20 second pass...You'll prob be in the high 13s with the heat and first time to the track. Launching that Whipple with a 3000 stall and 4.10s will be a challenge.

 

yeah somebody let the guy barrow some ET streets!

 

Ranwalk and Bigkid, when do you guys plan on going to the track in mobile again.
