I know there probably arent alot of 1/8 mile racers out there but for some of us thats all we have to run on. So where do you run, what are your times and what are your goals?

I run at Emerald Coast Dragway in Holt Florida right near the Alabama, Florida line. Its a great track and alot of fun. On a usual Test and tune night theres around 80+ entries.

I have a 95 integra lsvtec with a fully built bottom end and a little shot of nitrous. The car is not my Daily driver and only gets driven two or three times a week. I drive it and hour north almost every friday night to the drag strip. My latest addiion to the car is a set of BFG drag radials that im very happy with.
Last night the car went a 2.0 60 ft, 8.84 in the 1/8 at 83 mph. Its getting faster every time I go out.:)

With a 83mph in the 1/8 Disco you would be running a high 12 in the quarter. Its your 60' thats killing you. Oh well thats the life of fwd.

I always say if your going to drag race your car get a pair of extra wheels and slicks or drag radials and put them on at the track or before you go.

bfg's are about $270 to the door.

I know my 60 ft is bad I gotta learn to launch better. Im working on it with my buddy thats the best bracket racer I know. Hes awesome. I did go 85 mph last night but screwed the pooch in the 60 ft.

Best thing to invest in if your going to drag race is a launch control setup, perfect launches everytime once you find the sweetspot.

I have hondata but I had to find the right rpm that the tires would launch at so now I gotta set the rev limiter about 100 rpms below vtec engagement. That seemed to be just the right spot.

Aussie your gonna have to elaborate on the launch controll system please?

Like on the Hondata, you can launch on full throttle, but it will hold your rpms at whatever you set them at for the launch.
