Went to the track

Well i went to the track here in Hell Paso, tx last night, and well first off the track kind of sucks no time slips and all they have is a litle clock showing what you ran but you have to have a friend watch it tell you what you ran afterwards. So anyways it wasnt to warm last night but my best was a 16.0 flat which was very disappointing maybe im just not launching right i tried all different ways too. i launched low like at 2k then high around 5k and finally around 3-4k which seemed best, i was thinking maybe its cause of being higher than sea level or what, but i beat all the other modded imports i lost barely to a g35 and to a srt-4 but i wasnt to impressed with my times maybe i just need to practice, and now your opinions.

i was thinking about it and might have either been the weather conditions or the crappy track because i raced 93 gsr swapped civic and beat that and a integra gsr 4dr open header but he got me by a nose but all there times were about 16.1 or 16.3 so maybe it was just the conditions even a type s ran a bout a 16.4 16.2. i do know one thing though i didnt try feathering the clutch which ill try next time and let out a little tire pressure.

Ive raced at that track a few times and the best my bone stock SRT4 could do was 14.7 and 15.1 in my ION RL, so Im sure you could improve, but the track does suck. Also I am not the greatest driver. A freind from work on here, Chaser, claims his 07 Si with intake/exhaust and some tires did 14.3.
