Mission Raceway Drag Video

This is my first drag race video at Mission Raceway with my 1993 Honda Civic. The video of the 16.40 quarter mile time was too shaky so this one will do. The time was 16.54 @ 85MPH for quarter mile.

Mission Raceway Was a Success

I did my first Mission Raceway event today and it was a success. I did 4 runs down the drag strip and my best time was 16.401 @ 85.68MPH and reaction time of .726. I was told that the reaction time is only used if your racing against someone else and does not matter to your quarter mile time but I will have to investigate this farther so this may be wrong. I will post a video soon as I can get it on youtube.

Here is my timeslip results for this race.

R/T  … .726
60′ … 2.610
330 … 7.010
1/8 … 10.627
MPH … 67.34
1000 …13.778
1/4 … 16.401
MPH … 85.68

Getting Ready to Race at Mission

This Friday night I’m going to take my 1993 Honda Civic to the drag strip to see what kind of quarter mile time I can get out of my VTEC engine. I have never raced on a drag strip before so this will be a great learning experience. I want to go because I want to have a before turbo and after turbo quarter mile time slip. I estimate my quarter mile time to be around 15.9-16.5 seconds at 82-88MPH

Things I will need to do to my Honda Civic before it’s ready to race

- Save $30 for race admission
- Drain antifreeze out of my engine and replace with water
- Swap my front 15″ rims to 13″ rims and deflate tires to 15-20psi during racing
- Clean out the contents of my car including the glove box of any unnecessary weight
- Check all fluids to make sure they are topped off especially oil and coolant.
- Wash car so it looks nice on race day
- Clean my K&N Filter Charger
- Swap my drivers side mirror with a spare one as my current one is damaged.

Women Can Be Fast Too

Bouncing around some forums I found a website about a chick that races a Honda CRX with a 1/4 mile time of 11.7sec at 129 mph. She has a B16B block and B16A head plus a wack of other crazy mods including a Turbonetics turbo. It’s called staciescrx and for a chick she does pretty good down the track.
