Hi,
So I hit the drag's today for the first time and I had a blast.
I noticed I'm not really consistent with getting good launches. I vary from going off quick, to getting a delay of power when I floor it and then it kicks in. Or sometimes it kinda slugs out, like the exhaust will sound like it's struggling for a few seconds then it will go. Not sure if that's something with the car or a me or just a combination of both.
I tried different things like, a foot on the brake and the accelerator. And just flooring the accelerator when it's the last amber. Or having my foot on the brake then quickly changing and flooring the accelerator and lastly accelerating a bit with my foot on the brake as well then flooring.
Here are my ¼ times:
Note: My car isn't anything quick just a 3.8 V6 automatic 2002 Holden Storm Ute I have on my greens.
First run was with traction control on, the rest had it off. Tried different things mentioned above in each run.
1st run: 17.902
2nd run: 16.950
3rd run: 17.238
4th run: 17.136
5th run: 17.144
6th run: 16.717
Any tips or ticks I should know ?
Thanks,
