If I could find some cheap sticky 215/45/r17 tires for my front rims... id think about running again to see if I can best my 15.5 without my T/C bogging me.2 things holding me back... slipping clutch ( I think... it grinds when I shift it into gears in high rpms of around 6800-7200 ) and winter tires up front still cause one of my summer tires blew out and im poor right now. Oh and my car stinks because my cat is rotted out... stupid fords :mad:
a grinding while shifting at high rpms sound more like a synchro then a clutch problem.

I plan on comming down to the track fo rthe first time this weekend. I actually have never run on a drag track before, I just run road-course. What are the NHRA tech stuff do you have to pass, is a street car just fine to run. Should I put in my 5 point harnesses? I just want to do a few runs for the heck of it, I got 2 limp cyliners on my camamro so I won't do very well, but I want to know my time before I pull the car apart and stroke the engine, so see how much power I got out of it afterwards. Any help would be cool, I want to show up ready.

Seriously tech involves...
-You got a seatbelt(anyone would do)...Check
-Your battery secured...Check
-You got coolant...Check
That's all. Oh and don't get trapped by the stupid stage light trick on the launch pad, which im sure 90% of us did when we first raced.

where you have to light up both rows of stage lights in order for the tree to go...
i know ive done it, and a couple more people have.

That's not stupid(referring to your previous post). It's a way to make sure both racers are ready at the same time. As a courtesy, you should both prestage, then you procede to stage and light up both lights.

Thats not what i mean, i meant you feel stupid when you go over the light and have no idea what your doing. the stage lights are great since both rider start at the same spot. but when its your first time and you have no idea what they mean, youll tend to just line up for the hell of it.

My first time, I just waited for the other guy to go....I figured if my reaction didn't affect e/t, why bother trying to get a quick jump?
