I'm not a drag vet but I've been going a lot and getting help from Daytona too.

first off: if you have a AT, hold the brakeand give it some gas. I have the 3.4 and rev it up to about 2200 or to 2700. This will give your car a better launch. Your 60 foot and 1/8 mile will drastic improve. AS soon as you go, stomp on it and don't let up until the end. (Unless you might break out)

2nd: Go on the 3rd amber. It may seem funny at first, but by the time your car trips the first beam (start line) You will get that r/t down to a .350 at worst. When bracket racing, a good r/t is the difference between winning and losing.

3rd: Shifting. Even with a AT you still have to shift. For myself, I do better starting in 2nd and shifting into 3rd around the 330 mark. Some guys will say start in 1st and work up into the gears, but it's all you and what you feel is the best.

The main problem is as the day changes, so does the track, temp, humidty, barameter pressure and the amount of gas in the tank. All these come into play as well.

I feel your pain, you want to dial correctly so you don't break out or run much slower than your dial. Just try to repeat every run, but I know that's easier said than done.

Good luck :thumbsup:
