I don't want any bullshit.
I don't need to hear it.
So save that shit for other forums.I want to ET Bracket race by April. Can anyone take a Mustang brother under their wing for a couple of months to help me improve my driving my stick car more consistantly?? I have drag raced on the streets for money for years. It is time to grow-up and get my ass to the Drag Strip, seriously. Anyone can beat someone else on the street, their are NO limitations. My goal is to be the best ET driver I can possibly be. Period. Anyone? Please post here, e-mail me or call directly.
Thank you,
Ted

Practice makes perfect, but don't burn your clutch up in one night. Let it cool off after a few runs. Some wheel spin from the line is okay, but not too much. Get a G-tech, that should help you out, also. You should also account human error and try a way of getting off the line a few times before giving up and doing something else, unless you know you could do better another way.

if you want to be consistent go get an automatic.... its all practice...ANYONE can be good on slicks, so decide what way you want to go 1st...TED you should be making track runs EVERY weekend if you want to be good...let me know when you go and i'll meet you up there and give you some pointers.im only 5 miles from the track ..

Having an automatic does make it easier, like my Z28, 4 speed auto.

As soon as I get through the break-in Gabe, I will take you up on your offer.
You too Mike.
When I go up, even if you aren't running, comeup with me.
We can go do a few beers afterwards with Gabe.......
I would like to learn to row my machine better before I decide to go automatic. This way I know I make the best decision through trial / error.
Thanks guys.

I argee if you want to go anywhere in bracket racing get an auto. aside from that concentrate on being 100% consistent not as fast as posible.the guy in the 17 sec auto truck has a better chance of being consistent than the guy going all out in the 11 sec stick shift .

once you are consistent, get a practice tree and sit and practice all the time. most races are won or lost in the first second of the race.
