I'm about to take the car to drag strip. First time with an auto. Searched a couple threads and these are the recommendations:
-1500-2k rpm launch (235/55/19 Michelin PSS with about 27-32psi)
- traction control off ('06 so some funky stuff with the pedal)
- keep in drive with normal mode
- left foot on brake and smash gas

Missing anything or any other suggestions?

 

Right on the money. Good luck!

 

Go with gas lite on with less fuel and empty trunk...

 

Bypass the water box and NO burnout! In between the water box and line, romp on the gas once or twice to help remove any loose debris off the tires. If you stage shallow at the line, leave on the last yellow. If you stage deep (bulbs will probably go from two to one lit), then you'll want to leave closer the actual green. Also, if you can, arrive early and let the car sit with the hood open to help cool it all down.

Most of all, have fun!

Here's a couple of my passes : https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-8th-mile.html

 

14.0@99mph with a 2.2 60'

 

^^not bad for your first time. Where did you do your 1/4 mile time at?

 

And a 14.2@98 with a 2.4 60'.
It was at gainesville raceway (FL)

 

Not bad. Definitely can get in the 13's with more practice.

 

Put it this way...much room for improvement. But I bet you still has fun huh!
