That Civic definitely smoked you on reaction time, but you pulled right past him. Good work!!!

Out of curiosity, what tips/advice did you follow from the other forum members?

[the head]

And I pulled this from my first visit to the dragstrip for reference that you asked for. Bone stock with the tailgate and spare mounted.

Man, I used to drag my '67 Cuda, and this thread is totally making me miss those days.

[doberboy]

Someone has to post the link on the Dodge forums. I would love to hear the excuses.

[m4ck]

Just curious why this thread would get moved to Off Topic? It was a discussion about the Titan and racing it. I couldnt find it at first took me a few minutes. I thought it was deleted at first.

Were you in a different lane? If not, the grip at the start line possibly varies a bit or maybe the climatic conditions had changed between runs.

[the head]

Yeah - weird it got moved to here.

[m4ck]

Yeh I figure about 5 people check this section. LOL I thought this was something that members would really enjoy taking a look at.

better and I had slower reaction time.............

Et is the exact amount of time it takes you to get from start to finish.....not including the reaction time. You will see it all the time in drag racing where one car had a faster et but the other car won because he got the wholeshot and a better reaction time. The race is to see who gets to finish the soonest and et combined with reaction time makes a winner.
i hope this helps a little.

Way to go bro, smoke checked a Honda ricer and a Hemi all in one night. What a good night in SC it was...

With those times I wonder what you woulda ran in the 1/4.

Real strange the thread getting moved here. Maybe because the word "Hemi" is in the subject matter

[WuWorldwide36]

Nice work M4ck, keeping chewing 'em up. I constantly spanking the Hemi's on the streets where I live. Props man. Till next time... Brian
