THIS IS MY FIRST POST
this is my first time out to the track, closest to home...
ran my car about 5 time, best time was a 9.29 with a reaction time of .872
what do you guys think is there any room for improvement on the times?
is this really slow or respectable ?

i just ran my car at irvindale my reaction time was .168 and my run was a 10.8 cause I let off second gear i only ran my car once though

[elwoodwffw]

of course you can better the reaction time... depending on which tree they have it set up for (pro, etc) but that doesnt mean anything for your actual time. how was your launch? what was your tire pressure? outside temps?
did you keep the rpm's up.. i always am looking for better times, but seems you did good...

i had a good launch not to much wheel spin, launch at 2500 rpm and had my tire pressure down to 24 lb, have wider tires in the back 245, out side temp. was about 75 deg. i fell asleep at the tree a little

First of all welcome I also have a 328 6mt. which track was this the crappy one in hialeah gardens?

[kris09]

Countyline Dragway, of okeechobee and krome not the best track but it beats having nothing(closest to home)

[Andrew@ET]

yeah ive been there in my old car.

Short shifter might help as well as an intake and exhaust

[kris09]

will suspension help or hurt my times?
example h and r springs
