Drag Strip tips and advice needed.

Another thing you need to learn early on Sir !! Only make one change at a time !! I don’t care what anyone says !! Make one change at a time. That way you will know if the change you made makes you faster or slower ! Or fixed your concern or didnt fix your concern !! Be consistent with your starting line procedures ! What ever you do before pre-staging do it the same every time ! Try to stage your car the Same distance in beams every time !! Take the same amount of time every time you pull up on the track !! All these things I’ve said will affect what the car runs on any given pass !! If your consistent with everything you do ! The car will be as consistent as you have built the car to be !! Make sure you are straight in your lane when you stage every time !! If your run down the lane your in is shaped like an S your ET will reflect a slower time !! If your running 1/8 mile you want to run 660 feet!! Not 680 feet or more !! If your running 1/4 mile 1320 feet you want to 1320 feet not something more !! So line the car up straight !! Go straight down your lane ! If you have to steer your car a lot during a run !! That’s probably your red flag that your suspension is not setup right !! Sir there are literally hundreds of things to know and learn ! You will not learn overnight ! I’m 54 and have raced since I was 15 yrs old !! I have bracket raced for all of those yrs... it’s fun ! I love it ! And I love it when some one like you want to learn the sport !!

thank you Sir
