Super Comp Tips

Tweaker · 11-21-2011, 03:38 PM

I'm going to be running in my first super comp race this coming weekend. Any tips for me to help improve my chances of going rounds?

Sure, run me first round. lol
I plan on being at the Citrus this weekend, so look me up and I will see if I can help you any. I have a red Thunderbird that I run in Super Gas and a Dragster with Kawasaki on the side. If I remember, I had sent you a pic of it when you were looking for a dragster.

Right on, I'm NOT running you first round then :P The original owner is suppose to help me out to that day too a bit but was just curious from other people of general tips. I think you might of sent me a pic I cant remember it was most likely out of my budget lol.

Cut a < .10 light, and run an 8.9x and you'll be fine

About the only way to increase your chances are to be .000 on the tree and 8.900 on the track and hope you don't get beat by .00000001.

With that 12 tho package it looks like you gave him way to much room to get in. lol

So true. I didn't say "... and you'll win". I was just suggesting that it was a way to get the win light more often than not. If you can consistently bring in a package under 20, you'll be a tough competitor. Add in a little skill at the top end, and you'll be a monster.
