Infineon Raceway Wednesday Drags 9/17

In anticipation to the dyno day coming up this Saturday, I will be installing my racepipe to go catless. And what better reason to go to the drag races (Infineon Raceway Sept. 17) the following week to try out my Stage 4 on the track. This will also be the last Wednesday Night drags before October. Anyone intersted in going up? Wanna meet at UCKK same time?

I do warn you. This will be my first time at the drag strip. Chances are very high that I will embarass myself and other WRX owners with my launch.

Sorry guys but I won't be able to make it today to the Wednesday Night Drags. I have been trying to work out the knocks on my UTEC map all week. Almost got it dialed in. I will be there on October 1st though.

Question

Wow. That was a lot of fun. Met some nice suby heads. I'll definately be there earlier next time to get some more practice runs in.

Now, can someone please explain to me why I lost (I was the car on the right with the lousy start). Looks to me like I was closer to my DIAL:

He had a much better reaction time. That's what caused you to lose. As soon as you see that second yellow come on, let that clutch out and go. The tree is a .500 tree. I usually cut between .550 and .630. Then again i have an auto, so it's easy for me. But good for your first time out. You can only get better man.
