went to the track today, pissed off

i aint mad @ my time but all the bs that was goin on at the track, i called the track yesterday and they said trials are gonna start at 1, i get there at 1 and theres fuckin jr dragsters racing, then finally a hour and a half later they let us fuckin go, after i tryed to run again they said the no box cars are gonna go now so you have to wait, and after the no box cars go the jr dragsters are gonna go again, so i was like wtf man, i didnt have time to stay and do another run cause i had to go to work so i just fuckin left
next time i go to the track imma make sure its just test and tune

but any ways heres my 1st and only run of the day

r/t: .643
60 ft: 2.397 <------------thats my problem
330ft: 6.476
1/8 et: 9.789
1/8 mph: 74.20
1000 et: 12.659
1/4 et: 15.028
1/4 mph: 93.39

as you can see i spun off the line too much and w/ better traction i can get a 14.8, i'm goin back before they close

anyone got some tips for me on launching, remeber i got an auto not a manual

drop your tire pressure to 25psi front, set rear at 40 psi. do a small burnout to heat up you tires, then launch w/ a 2000 rpm t/b.
use ss, it's easier to do than gate shifting. run w/ less than a 1/4 tank of gas.

do these thing and i guarantee you will be in the 14's.

Uh, on the manual, you don't need to use your brake at all...
Just rev the engine to 3500-4000 rpm (somewhere near VTEC/stage 2), and let out the clutch QUICKLY.... your tires
will begin squealing and screeching, but before your tires catch and jerk forward, just press the clutch back in and let go of the gas....

You can practice it in any of your local neighborhood streets in front of a house of someone you hate...
