I took the ole Catsmashin mobile to the track for the first time last night. It was hot and muggy and I ran consistent mid-14s. My best time was 14.452sec/97.92mph. I didn't really know what I was doing, but that run I shifted at about 5800-6000 rpm and charged across in third gear. I also removed my air silencer and baffle screen, but I think my technique was so bad, that these mods were overshadowed. I was a little dissapointed in the results based on the post I have seen and have a few questions that some of you seasoned drivers might be able to help out on:
Does reaction time matter? Mine were pretty long (around .8 to .9). I was waiting for the green light before I punched it.
What can I do to keep the rear wheels from spinning? I showed up stock, kicked the wife and kids out of the car and ran with the baby seat in the back. Is there any prep work I can do prior to running?
Any help will be appreciated. I need to keep the camaros honest (I did manage to dust two older Camaros that night). I also got dusted by a custom pickup - go figure.
PS I had a hoopy, froopy, dippity, doopy CatSmashin great time!! I will be back!!
