First Real Drag Races

So I went up to Bandimere racetrack, and I ran a best of 17.7@ 89 mph. I have cat-back and open air filter. I smoked a turbo civic, a civic ex sedan, and a civic si hatchback. It was quicker than I expected I was thinking of highs 18s or 19s. Plus I was at seven thousand and some odd feet above sea level. When I get my BPT I will be quicker. Thats gonna be fun. I wasnt disappointed at all. My car weighs in at 2530, with a half tank of gas and full interior. (thats translates to about 89 hp at the wheels and 116 at the crank) lol...now that is sad.

That's pretty slow for a drag race, but not bad for the car you have. Atleast you had fun, right?

I did 97MPH in the 1/4mile but a shitty 15.1.

In my case, had a shitty launch plus clutch slip

I would think that a forced induction engine would do MUCH better than an NA engine which I can only assume is stock at 7000+ feet of altitude.

i dont believe the 89mph trap speed either. I trap at 80-81 and i run 16.6-17.0 1/4mile. I know the mazdaspeed protege traps at about 90-93mph
