Went to PRP last night–got to meet 1320 and vtecsol. Anyway, I only managed a best of 15.7 @ around 90 mph. Kinda disappointed–not in the car—in myself :tool: . Car was running fine, I just can’t launch and I missed 3rd on my second run. I guess I just have to practice some more. It just irritates me that I see the same cars mod for mod running low 15s knockin on the door of 14s, and I can’t even get a 15.5. My 60’ time was 2.39 (this was the best one of the night). It was funny that my last run was the best, because as soon as I staged, the light went off–so I had no time to get set. Anyway, I just hit the gas and dumped the clutch, spun a little and grabbed my best time of the night. with any luck, I can make it back out in the next few weeks to practice my technique. I’m also going to try putting my 14s on the front and leaving the 16s at home. ---

Seeing these guys on the web, or locally here at PRP? It’s really easy to mindfuck yourself whenever someone runs at a better track than PRP and cuts a good time. You’d probably get a low 15 if you went down to mason-dixon in hagerstown. ---

I’ve seen these guys runnin low 15s in person at PRP and at Thompson in Ohio. I just need to practice. I’m going up again Tuesday the 24th weather permitting. > [@grandamld9](#): > > Whats done to the cavi? I think a high 15 is good for that car depending on the mods. Well, it’s an ECOTEC 2.2L DOHC with intake, full exhaust including a header and high flow cat, short shifter, and motor mounts. I ran a 15.9 with just the intake and cat-back. Like I said though–I just need practice. Up until I got this car, I only drove automatic trannies. ---

I think my biggest problems are my launch (it needs work), and my rims/tires up front. Next time I go, I am trying my different rims up front. Maybe that will help some. If I could get these damn launches down, and get my 60’ time down where it should be, I’d be running low 15s, which is where I should be.
