you look like you are waiting for the green.
sorry to bag on you but your reaction times suck,
also your 60 foot times are horrible...I am guessing that you are spraying in
1st gear which is bad and your tires are just spinning.
I am also guessing that each gear you shift into you are spinning the tires.
or, you nitrous jet is clogged a bitt and you are spraying an inadaquate mixture and spraying
more gas into the intake, or your nozzel is about a foot away from the throttle body

Rep Power: 0 Actually, I spray (50 shot) in first gear for one try, then second gear for another two, and the last two in third. I spin the tires in every slip that you see here. Can't get any traction....the reason for my horrible times. If I'm spinning the clock is moving and I'm not. The best speed trap time I have is 91.29 which should be a better time. These are all old from about a year ago.

Rep Power: 0 I haven't used the nitrous since. Burned up the tires and just got new ones. I didn't try lowering the pressure either. Heard that works pretty good. I'm newer to drag racing. My last car was an MR2 and I autocrossed with Martin Sports Compact Car here in Orlando. Now I've got to get more practice in drag. What?? "maybe hes more "up" than you"

I drop down to 23psi.
Also your sixty foot times will be better and your 1/4 mile time will get lower,
but your trap speed will be a little less.

Rep Power: 0 Florida is about as low in elevation as possible without being below sea level. I'm guessing you haven't been there and that georaphy wasn't one of your strong subjects in school. Temperature and humidity would be a factor though.
As for those 60 foot times, they are atrocious. 2.3-2.4 is more like what what you should be getting on street tires. But practice makes perfect so keep at it 'cause I'm sure you had fun.
