That aint a 306 bruh bruh, not with a 14.77 timeslip. Is yours an auto?

306.... 302.... same thing. You don't need slicks. Just some seat time and practice launching.

On BALD street tires, so bald that one blew off the line.

Edit: I forgot the car show was the 21st lol Yeah I was running faster than my last time out with street tires again. My clutch is gone now I know some of you seen me trying to warm up my tires N my clutch wasn't having it I was pissed N then it tried bogging out off the line. Plus my car was running hot as fuck since I didn't know how to properly change the settings on my electric fan so it only kicked in when it was hella hot. I would've put on my DR's but it was wayyyyy too hot to jack my car up N swap out rims plus I knew my clutch wasn't gonna like it. Bad day for racing that's for shure.

Any tips for a beginer

you just need seat time, are you running st tires or drag radials/slicks? if on street tires dont do a burn out, heating up street tires just makes em slicker so they wont grab for shit
