like the title says i took my F to the drag strip for the 1st time since i bought it last year. i must say it was definitely a great experience and i sure can't wait to go back so i can try to beat my times.

high altitude plays a big roll on the time as we are at 6660 ft. and i also made the mistake of filling up the gas tank all the way rookie mistake lol

Nice runs! What else are you going to do different next time besides filling up the gas tank all the way?

Not bad considering the altitude your in. Full tank isn't a rookie mistake. Lots of people I know does that too including myself.

i saw a few videos from cayman and he mention the way he got faster times is to wait to hit the rev limiter before the fuel cut off, that's when he got the faster times.

well that makes me feel a little better and less stupid for sure lol. yeah the altitude kills a lot of the horsepower which sucks but i went for the fun part

Yup. I believe that's what most of us do but for those who do come often, they tend to want to get better times so they come as prep as they can.

Beware, it's habit forming.

I went last night and got in 9 runs, the most ever by far. Rainy weather early in the day kept most away.

One of the best things about taking an F to the strip is the attention it gets. So few know what they are, especially those over age 40 running domestic V8s.

Were there many other imports there?

i will be going again here soon in a couple weeks. there is a lot of cars not only imports a lof of people still don't know what an isf yet even it has been out since 2008 lol

no one has ever ran one at high altitude so yes it is a record for sure.

@blackisF08. You can go to dragtimes and use the DA correction tool to correct your times. Probably didn't run as bad as you think.

My advice, stage shallow, less than 1/4 tank of gas. Leave home anything you don't need-spare and Jack included.

thanks for the support man, i did correction and it said it was a 13 second pass. i know i can do better and i will post back results. thanks for all the tips

This seems to be very slow to me. I figured we would be in the high 12's factory. Im in missing something here besides high altitude???

so i did all the corrections on dragtimes and this is what it came up to be. time is 12.9 which i know still not the best but closer to what other have ran before. not only did a full thank of gas plus jack and tools but it also was my 1st time running, i was only able to do it twice
