Well the track opens today and I am going to try to make it out tonight after school. Does anyone have any tips or tricks to get a good time. I have been out there many times, but never with this car. Where should I launch at? Where should I shift? Keep in my I have street tires an open diff. My redtop is pretty much stock, I have an upgraded head gasket, fuel pump, stock clutch fan, stock SMIC and stock boost. I was going to use these runs to get a baseline 1/4 and go from there. What should I be expecting? Thanks in advance for the help, Alex.

depending on lots of vriables id assume you should at least be able to get a mid-high 14. try holding the rpms around 4,000 for starters and if it bogs down raise it some, if you spin a bunch lower it some

Well I got outta class at 7:35PM and got to the track around 8:30. They told me that they stopped accepting racers at 8, but I could spectate. Yay! Man was I ****ty. But after it was over, I did run into an S14 with a blacktop installed and he didn't even know about NICO! I gave him the addy, so hopefully he joins. Also, I saw a sweet Kouki there, but didn't talk to the owner. I don't know where these modified 240s are hiding as I never see them on the street.
