Was my first time ever at a dragstrip. Best run out of 3 was 15.8 and I'm fully stock, even the crappy tires. Not sure if this time is any good but I had tons of fun and had better time than 2 Gens that I came together with.
What is the best way to take off in VT? First run (ever) I held it at around 4.5K and then WOT and dropped the clutch.. Resulted in spinning tires in one place until I hit 3rd, then I started moving...
Second run I held rpms at around 2.5K and then WOT, did much better, but still it was only 15.8...
Wonder if I should not try to gun it right off the bat but apply gas gradually?
Any suggestions? (Other than more practice)

Yes, somehow they ran 16+ (one was mostly stock, the other had quite a few mods, both 2.0T)... I guess they are pretty "green" like myself

What was your 60 foot time?

will check the slip and add it here

On stock tires, drive around the water box and don't launch as hard, just feather the clutch till you get traction then let it rip

I had Traction Control off the whole time but am wondering if leaving it on might have helped with the wheel spin (yes, wheel spin was mostly my mistake)?
Has anyone compared the runs with and without TC on?
