Drag Racing 101

So you want to find out what your car runs in the ¼ mile or the 1/8 mile, But you have never been to a track before and you are not totally sure what to do. Well that’s fine. Just remember that everyone was a newbie at one time. Nobody popped out of the womb heal toeing and two steppin’

The first thing to is to visually inspect your car. Make sure nothing is broken, the oil isn’t black, your brakes work, ECT.

This is spit up into six sections. Pre Arrival, Arrival, Pre Race, Staging, Race, Post Race.

Pre Arrival:

I recommend cleaning your car inside and out but mostly the inside. Get rid of anything that will roll around and is not necessary. Now I don’t mean rear seats and carpets. I mean loose change, anything in the center console and the glove box (MAKE SURE TO KEEP YOUR INSURANCE AND REGISTRATION CARDS) If your going with someone else and they are bringing their own car throw your spare tire and jack in their car just in case. Otherwise I would keep it in.

Depending on how far the track is will determine how much fuel you need. Just remember anything below a quarter tank when racing will actually hurt you as it will slosh back and forth as you shift. Also remember, that you need to get to make it home, or to the nearest gas station that is still open.

If you can find a helmet (Snell 95) then find one and bring it you will need it. Also you will probably need long pants (NO nylon) and possibly a long sleeved shirt, and full toed sneakers. (NO sandals)

As you drive to the track try not to beat on the car as you really want it as cool as possible.

Check the tracks website for specific regulations.

Arrival:

When you arrive you will probably wait in a line to pay your entrance fee. When you get to the booth pay your fee and get your tech card. Make sure you tell them you are racing. If you have any questions on where to go ASK NOW!!!! ASK NOW!!! ASK NOW!!! That is what these people are paid to do, they will point you in the correct direction.

Once you enter the pits keep in mind the speed limit is most likely 5MPH, do not break that, you will look dumb and get thrown out. Park your car and fill out your tech card. Again if you have any questions just find someone. 99% of the people are nice and will be more then willing to help you out. Also ask where the tech inspections are held. And where you can rent a helmet (if applicable)

Once your tech card is filled out and you have your helmet. Take your car to the tech inspection. This is where they will give you your wrist band or other official driver/racer identification. They will ask you what mods you have done to your car. Answer them truthfully, but mostly, they are just trying to find out if you are going to A: Blow up B: run faster then 10 second. If all you have is basic upgrades (intake exhaust) tell them that. Don’t lie. When they are happy they will chalk your windows with your race numbers.

If you want to run “NO TIME” tell them and they will also put N/T on your windshield. That way when you run your time will not be shown on the boards. There are reasons people do this 99% don’t need to do this. Once the tech inspection is done drive back to the pit and shut your car off. Go watch a couple runs, go to the bathroom, let your car cool. Watch the cars, make mental notes of what they do, where they go, where they came from.

Pre Race: Your almost there

Once you feel comfortable, go back to your car and get into the staging lanes. These are usually split up into categories. Such as street tires or slicks, grudge matches, ECT Just go where you belong. OK now this is where people get annoyed at you… STAY WITH YOUR CAR. It is ok to get out if nothing is moving but do not wander, If you want to know what the guy 5 cars behind you is running wait for him in the pits. Some people will shut off their cars, I just run my heat on full blast unless we are not moving at all (Temporary track closing) Move up as needed, and stay in YOUR lane. Once your in the staging lane, unless your car breaks, it is a one way road.

When you get close put your helmet on and roll the windows UP. Keep your eyes on spotter. When you are waved to come up do just that. Keep your eye on the track officials as they are going to be waving you forward. Be sure you have your helmet on, windows up, seat belt on, and at least your Parking lights on. (Even if its light out sometimes they cant see if you break down and if they send a pro drag car down your lane… it is going to hurt.)

Go around the water box, If you want you can do a burn out to dust off your tires and warm them up. Just stay out of the water. The water is there for the guys with the slicks.

You are now getting really really close to racing, the only thing left to do is stage wait and go!!!

Staging: This is where it get interesting!

When you are motioned to do so move your car forward towards the staging beams.

You should have noticed the traffic light looking type thing by now. This is called the tree. It should look like this




o o Amber 1
o o Amber 2
o Yellow 1
o Yellow 2
o Yellow 3
OOO GREEN!

Right now you are concerned with Amber 1 and Amber 2. Staging is getting your car in line with the timer. Move up until the first amber light turns on. Then slowly move forward till the second one goes on. If either one goes out, you went to far and back up.

As soon as both Amber lights are lit be ready to race. Blip your gas to clear the intake and hold a steady RPM for your launch. Now keep your eyes on the yellow lights. Some tracks have all three lights at once and then green, some have Yellow 1 Yellow 2 Yellow 3 then Green. Remember how I said to go watch the races for a while. This is one of the things you are looking for.

If it is the first way, where all three light up at the same time, just wait for them to light think, and then go. If you wait for the green your reaction time will be horrible. If it is the second one where each one goes one by one then once the last one lights, do a half think then go.

Your reaction time is the time it takes you to move your car off of the line after the green lights. Some places start the timer when the green lights up and then a .000 would be a perfect reaction time. Other tracks start from when the last yellow light dies and then the when the green lights, and then it still measures you on how fast you move the car off the line after the green lights but a perfect reaction time is .500 because it is a half second between the last yellow and the green.

Race:

Go!!! You are actually doing it. If it is your first time take it easy, learn the track. Don’t worry you will do more runs. Also be careful because the track is a lot more slippery then normal roads. So you can probably launch lower. Just be aware and careful.

BE SURE TO STAY IN YOUR LANE!!!

Stay on the gas until the end. You don’t want to be coasting that last 100 feet.

Leaving the track, this is important. If you are in the left lane, and the track turn off's are on the right, then the other car has the right of way. Do not turn in front of the other car. At one race track, a guy in a street car was racing a 6 second car. The 6 second car had trouble on the line, and the street car got to the finish line first, but the 6 second car was now on the way. The street car went for the first turn off, and turned in front of the other car that hit him running around 110 miles per hour. Enough said. Don’t be stupid!

Post Race:

Ok so now proceed off the track and stop at the booth and pick up your time slip. Get it put it down and drive away. Do not look at it as the pit area is usually crowded and you do not want to hit that guys 6 year old daughter. Once you are parked take a look at your time slip, and then repeat!

Enjoy!

This is not a forum for trash talking other automobile manufacturers. That is what the fight forum is for. Recently there was a troller in here who just had to pick a fight with us and trash talk our manufacturer and I had the user banned for it. In light of this I have decided to pin a topic in this forum, as it needs it.

We need to show the same respect to the other auto makers as we expect to be shown to us.

I'm not saying that you can't say something like, "I just totally owned a civic last night." I am just saying don't say, "I just totally owned a civic last night, Honda can blow my nuts!"

Also, please don't post things about other auto manufacturers sexual preference. I am sure that you cannot tell if a company is homosexual just because you beat one of their cars in a race. If you find a way to figure out a company's sexual preference, please tell me, and I will delete this part of my post.

Thank you,
Nick

Are there any forum members on a street racing team? (seems like a really dumb uestion yes...but hey...its something to talk about!)

This weekend's X-Games 16 is starting to become a star-studded event full of Formula Drift's best drivers. We already know Tanner Foust and his experience with the X-Games, and now Samuel Hubinette and Andrew Comrie-Picard (Formula Drift driver and teammate) will both be driving NOS Energy Drink Mitsubishi EVOs on BFGoodrich tires.

The NOS Energy Drink EVO is not new to X-Games but it has been rewrapped for this year (as pictured above). Rumor has it that Hubinette's practice was cut short when he hit a berm and threw the EVO up on two wheels. So it'll be interesting to see how the competition plays out in the Super Rally with Hubinette, Picard, Verdier and Foust battling it out on the rally course rather than the drift course.

AutoGuide will be sure to update with X-Games news and results, especially if anything flips over!

UPDATE: Ready to match the EVO entry, Subaru has also just released details on it's three car effort for the X-Games, with Travis Pastrana, Dave Mirra and Sverre Isachsen all piloting 500-hp Subaru WRX STIs.

Hey,

The other day I was chatting with a friend of mine about Evos.

Anyway it brought me back to the time I had a 1999 Toyota Camry 2.2, 30,000kms around that any way.

So I pulled up at the lights waiting for the green. Up comes a evo 5. A very nice white one. Very well done I must say.
With a few revs he started pointing at the window. So I wound it down and talked.
Very short words. A drag from this light to the next, be 100m.

Yup revving like mad. I mean revving flatting out the motor. Then with green light hit he let loose full revs, and a huge grinding sound. Then the car bunny hopped. Then a hell of a thump. By that time he stopped and took off man was he slow. Beat him with out trying in the camry and a auto.

Man some people have no clue of cars. Funny the same car I see in the machincs day in day out.

The World Time Attack Challenge, held at Australia's Eastern Creek International Raceway near Sydney, has attracted a deep field of local and international competitors including top American teams Sierra Sierra Enterprises and their Mitsubishi Evo 8 and Factor X Motorsports Development and their awesome Acura NSX.

It may be an easier commute for the Japanese tuners, but it's no less impressive that world-class Time Attack machines like the Sun Cyber Evo, Tomei/Cusco Subaru Impreza STI, and both the PanSpeed and R-Magic FD Mazda RX-7s will also be in attendance at Eastern Creek this weekend.

Hoping to put home field advantage to good use are top Australian teams Hi-Octane Racing and their stunning R34 Nissan GT-R, APC Racing's Evo 8 MR, and Notaras and their lightweight 590-hp Mitsubishi Evo.

With an intriguing mix of the best Time Attack teams and drivers in the world, all vying for the title of World Time Attack Challenge champion, we'll be following the action this weekend very closely and will report back on Monday with a full account of all the on-track action. In the meantime, wet your Time Attack whistle at the link below with a video of Mark Berry piloting Australian favorite Hi-Octane Racing's GT-R around Eastern Creek in preparation for the WTAC.

Rally driving requires serious concentration on both the part of the driver and co-driver. If the co-driver reads stage notes wrong, or a driver doesn't react quickly, a crash and possible rollover is almost a given.

Many seasoned rally drivers have trained themselves to ignore the spectators along the sides of the stage, but one man distracts Mark Tapper in his prepared Mitsubishi Lancer in a most interesting way, by showing him his ass. The distraction is enough for Tapper to overshoot the next corner during the Rally New Zealand race and end up on his roof.

Amazing video at the link below.

Over four years ago, AMS shocked the world taking a Mitsubishi EVO VIII and setting all sorts of new records with it. Back then it eclipsed the mid-to-low 9-second mark on the drag strip and a couple of years later they bested all the marks with a new world record at 8.42 @ 168.7 mph. The car then went on to break horsepower records dropping 1,181 all wheel horsepower. So everyone had to ask, what was left for this straight-line bullet to achieve in the record books? Well, why not the world's fastest standing mile for a four-cylinder? And that's exactly what AMS did with their EVO at The Texas Mile a few weeks back, breaking yet another world record and going 228 mph.

It wasn't all that happened that fateful run however. It seemed as if the car itself knew that there was very little left it could achieve after four years of dominating all sorts of records. The car unfortunately catches fire and driver Eric Jones wisely bails himself out of a vehicle that had just gone close to 230 mph. While it seems very tragic that AMS' EVO VIII was on fire, we're sure deep down the boys over there are looking forward to building something new. We know we all are, after four years of watching this one succeed.

Make sure to check out the in-car video of this record-setting Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII at the link below:

Ha ok so last night I was coming home from a soccer game and this guy drove right next to me in a blue, old civic with a weak ass body kit, a huge spoiler, and chrome lining all over the car that he obviously got at kragen and is now coming off. He stayed next to me for a bit, then he passed me and turned on his neon. Now, I know I have a total ricer but this guy took it to a new level and it was embarrassing. We were both stopped at a red light and when it turned green he took off, kinda. And he felt all bad ass cuz at the next light he was like jumping up and down and bobbing his head. So I was like really, ok you asked for it. The next light turned green and I absolutely smoked him. I got off on him so quick I'm surprised his stick on chrome lining didn't fall off. Ha civic drivers are such douche bags.

I feel like an idiot. Right after I posted it, I was like, I should have checked to see if there were any rules about posting in this section and sure enough the rule was don't trash talk other car manufacturers. Sorry about that MF

OPTIMA® Batteries will kick off its nationwide search for the 2010 Ultimate Street Car on May 1-2 with the first-ever OPTIMA Street Car Faceoff, to be held at the historic Road America race track in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. The OPTIMA Street Car Faceoff, presented by Baer Brakes and Detroit Speed & Engineering, is an exciting new race event to showcase automotive performance, styling and aftermarket products as select vehicles compete in a series of events including the BF Goodrich Hot Lap Challenge, Detroit Speed Autocross, Baer Brakes Speed Stop Challenge, and a style and design competition.

OPTIMA and its partners will celebrate the entire Street Car Faceoff weekend with activities that unite the performance automotive aftermarket industry. The famed Roadster Shop in Mundelein, Illinois, home to the 2009 Good Guys Street Machine of the Year, Barry Blomquist’s “C1RS” ‘62 Corvette, will host an open house on Friday, April 30th at 11:00 a.m. CST. The caravan of enthusiasts and media are also invited to a cookout at Andrew Chevrolet dealership in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, not too far from the OPTIMA Batteries and Johnson Controls corporate headquarters.

On Saturday, May 1st beginning at 9:00 a.m. CST, the group of vehicle owners, drivers, designers, manufacturers and media will begin the OPTIMA Street Car Faceoff Road Rally to Road America. Upon everyone’s arrival, D&Z Customs and West Bend Dyno will sponsor a lunch to kick-off the action-packed weekend.

“True to our goal with the OPTIMA Ultimate Street Car Invitational, the Street Car Faceoff is about bringing the ‘street’ back to street machines by taking competition off the trailer and onto the track,” says Cam Douglass, director of product development and marketing for OPTIMA. “The OPTIMA Ultimate Street Car Invitational is about taking the world’s finest street cars and putting them to the test. Our mission with this event, and others throughout the year, is to find them.”

The OPTIMA Street Car Faceoff is the first event in an ongoing series of qualifiers for the OPTIMA Ultimate Street Car Invitational, held each year immediately following the SEMA Show. These additional qualifying events will occur in different regions around the country, widening the playing field to allow more people the opportunity to be involved. The winner of the OPTIMA Street Car Faceoff will receive an invitation to the Ultimate Street Car Invitational to compete for the coveted Ultimate Street Car title among up to 50 of the highest quality street cars in the world.

2009 MVP Track Time Schedule

Hi All:

MVP Track Time (www.MVPTrackTime.com) is very excited to announce our expanded track day schedule for the 2009 track season.

It is with great pleasure MVP Track Time welcomes Jaime Goffaux to the MVP family. Jaime is a long-time Lotus pal of mine and is taking on operations of several of our 2009 track events as part of our expansion. Undoubtedly Jaime will run a great event in the manner you are accustomed to.

After several years of successful events on the Midwest’s premier tracks, we are looking East at some of North America’s most historic tracks. The “Big 5” (Road America, Laguna Seca, Road Atlanta, Watkins Glen and Mid-Ohio) have always been on MVP’s radar. Adding Watkins Glen, Mid-Ohio and possibly Road Atlanta for 2009 gets us 3/5 way there. If/when we find partners out West, Laguna Seca will become a reality and IF (notice BIG if) we can secure a workable date at Road America we will complete the “Big 5” circle.

As many are feeling the effects of the economic downturn, MVP is attempting to keep pricing the same as 2008. With all the economic bad news, I hope this reaches you as some good news. We aim to bring the best track value to you. Below you will find our tentative 2009 schedule, subject to revision as necessary.

April 18-19: Putnam Park ”Tax Freedom Track Weekend” - SOLD OUT!

June 1: Autobahn Country Club (FULL 3.56 mile track)

August 3: Autobahn Country Club II (FULL 3.56 mile track)

September 5-6: Blackhawk Farms ”No Hurricane Rain Track Weekend”

September 7-8: Virginia International Raceway ”Labor Day Speed Fix”

October 17-18: Mid Ohio

September 28, 2009 - Summit Point (Main Course)

October 31 – November 1: Watkins Glen ”Halloween Fright FAST!”

November 21 - 22: Road Atlanta "Flyin Turkey Trot"


The wet weather of late tells me we are in for a long, cold, snowy Winter. When Spring arrives, I hope you’ll gear up for some much needed fresh air and join MVP Track Time at the track.

Happy Motoring and I hope to see you at the track in 2009!

okay so me and one of my friends are in his SER Specv and were cruising on the hw and we pull up to an older trans am. from the looks at it we thought it would be a fun race.. well it turned out it wasn't a race at all.. it was him toying with us the whole time..

we pull up next to him and we rev the motor at him, and this is a guy that looks like he is in his late 30's early 40's, he nods at us so we line up next to each other going 60 and we honk 3 times. on the third honk we take off and it looked like we would smoke him.. then all the sudden you hear this roaring of a motor and he zooms by us and when he shifts you can hear a BOV.. both me and my friend look at each other and we say OH ****! at the same time..

so the trans am slows down and gets next to us and this time we slow down to 40.. well that pretty much didn't help us at all. he is smiling now and we honk three times again,, this time he lets us go a little and he is just cruising behind us with ease.. we get up to 130 and he pulls up next to us and we are freaking out because his car is fast as ****. to add insult to our lose he starts tapping the gas and bouncing his front end up and down.. and keep in mind we are going 130.

once he does this for like 10 seconds he floors it and took off.. he told us he was going 160 then he slowed down, took and exit after waving us over, and pulled into a gas station. we pull up next to him and he gets out and said that was pretty fun. me and my friend were still in disbelief and we asked him what he was running in the 1/4. well he told us he was running under 11 on a bad day.. this about made me **** my pants.

i will no longer race older cars unless i hear them rev it up all the way, just to make sure they aren't turbo'd

losing to this guy so bad inspired my friend to buy a t3/4 turbonetics turbo kit for his SER Specv which wouldn't make him beat this guy but it wouldn't be as embarrising.

from now on any car i get ima turbo that ****..

im glad i have a GST

At least you can't miss

[attachmentid=5228]

pulled over and was told to slow down for the sake of my passengeres and was givin a ticket for failure to display DL....fuckin nuts...

I was goin home last night and I came across one of my friends in his moms camaro. Its got a 305 stock with and automatic tranny. My car was turbod but I sold it when I lost my liscence so Im back down to N/A until the end of this month. I asked him to race JK with him and he said no. So on the way to our house he tried to come around me and I threw it in third and started pulling away from him. It surprised the HELL out of me! All I have now is a cold air intak and a cheap catback. But he flashed his lights and we tried one more time. Once again I left him! He blamed it on the auto and that might have been it. But it still made me feel good outrunnin a car with four more cylinders!!

Some people are simply nuts. I was driving on the freeway last night around 10pm on the 710 Northbound (near LA). Traffic was medium, good spread of cars but everyone cruising between 70 and 80ish mph. I'm chatting with my friend in the passenger seat and all the sudden she goes "wow that guy sure likes to tailgate" and she points to a car in the lane next to mine. I glace over and it takes me a little to bit to figure out what is going on. He's definitely too close to be just tailgating. Then I see the car in front of him he is supposedly tailgating making various hand signals out the window. It finally all comes together and I realize this idiot is pushing his friends car on the freeway with his car. They were going fast too. I was doing about 80 and they were passing me. Not just going fast, but changing lanes often to maintain speed. Also consider the fact that the guy pushing the other car cannot see in front of him, and guy steering the dead car in front has no control over acceleration besides a delayed hand signal. at at least 85mph. "Darwin awards" kept flashing in my head and I took the next offramp for a new route as soon as I had the chance. A 50 car pileup wasn't going to ruin my commute that evening. lol my god.

ps - one dude was driving a honda crx, and the other was driving an early 90s civic. hmmmm.

The Versa has 122HP & a whoppin 127TQ

The stick version which he does NOT have runs 0-60 in a depressing 9.5 so with CVT it could add on another full second....yes?

1/4 mile time for the stick is 17.1 @ 81MPH.




According to what I can find on the 2008 Lancer GTS with CVT is something like 8.5-9 seconds 0-60

1/4 in around 16.8 @ like 87mph.


Obviously I am going to be a little quicker.....but he plans on putting a 30 shot of NoS on his car. I told him his poor car would blow up immediately making me the winner HA-HA!
But he thinks otherwise. Now normally I don't race....I drive for mileage & maybe attack an on-ramp from time to time...but that's it........

So what's your thought on this.....his little 2007 5 door CVT Versa (stock...except for the juice) VS. my 2008 Lancer GTS with CVT & with the Injen Intake, Magnaflow Cat-Back & Pulstar Pulse plugs.....kid seats in the back & Plasti-Dip on the front grill LOL.


I know....I know.....first thought would be.....we both would lose...yes I agree. Battle of the underpowers! He wanted to run for pinks....I laughed & told him he needs to get his 1st LOL.....silly boy

My friend has a 95 v6 mustang and he keeps talking how much bigger his engine is than mine. But from what i can tell we have about the same amount of hp but the mustang has more torque. I know that both our cars are slow but just curious who would win a 1999 eclipse GS manual stock vs. 1995 V-6 Mustang manual stock.

The Jim Russell Racing Drivers School is launching a new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution driving experience. Participants will be able to get behind the wheel of Mitsu's amazing new EVO X on one of America's best race tracks, Infineon.

Along with a classroom component, drivers will be able to pilot the track-ready EVO while they develop their racing technique, car control skills and get some serious speed out on the track.

"Deciding to work with Mitsubishi Motors for The Lancer Evolution program was an easy choice," said Chip Pankow, president of Jim Russell Racing Drivers School. "We have been using the 4G63 engines in our Lola-built school cars and found them to be exceptionally reliable. The launch of The Jim Russell Lancer Evolution Experience strengthens our position as the leader in delivering new concepts and deliverables for automotive manufacturers seeking to broaden their customer base."

Mitsubishi will officially announce the new school program on July 11 at the annual Mitsubishi Owners Day (M.O.D.), held at the Japanese automaker's Cypress, Ca offices. There will even be a draw for the first seat in the Jim Russell Lancer Evolution Experience. Jim Russell puts the value at $1,000, but thrashing an EVO X at Infineon is practically priceless.

Now that F&F4 is out, more and more dumbfucks will think they're Mr. Badass and place more innocent lives at risk. I hope to hell this guy is charged on both accounts and receives a life sentence with no chance of parole.

Check this out. Basically you pay $25 and you get to race the cops. This gives the cops experience in catching street racers and it gives money to the local community.

So me and my friends go down to the local drag strip(Cecil County,MD) on fridays. Which is grudge night, bring your own car. My friend has a Pontiac G5 GT. He has just a basic Magnaflow muffler and Injen CAI. Base hp he is at 177. He ran a best of 15.3 at like 99 i think. I have never ran my car, but have ran my quad several times. So I do have the basic knowledge of the lights and such. My question to you is would I be able to pull on him. I have a AEM CAI, Magnaflow cat and muffler, with header. Screaming demon ignition, with 8.5mm plug wires and Iridium plugs and no power steering. I know this sounds like a stupid teenager ricer kid question but I'm not close to that at all. I am doing all the racing legally. I just wanna know cuz I might have some money riding on it.

EDIT: Sorry guys just realized this should be in the competition racing section. If someone can move it that would be great.

HAHA! Just goes to show what happens when you're a retard.

I was going up Mason road for a nice little cruise, going onto I-10. I was just out to clear my head. This rickety stock white Supra MKIII comes flying out of Taco Cabana parking lot and swerves onto Mason, then onto the access road. I give chase. He illegally passed a truck, then cut him off to fly through a stop sign. He was behind a building and I heard "ERRRRRRRRRKKK POW". In excitement, I pulled onto the I-10 feeder road and the first thing I saw is a white Supra turned the wrong direction in the grass right next to the stone wall. HAHAHA!

Being a good sumaritan, I pulled into discount tire to observe. I would have helped if he was hurt. His embarrassment was punishment enough though. He opened the door and stepped out, so I tore out of the discount tire lot and waved as I past. L-O-fucking-L.

Good thing I didn't have my camera, I'd get some pics.
