Default 1/4 mile drag question

Hey, 3 weeks ago i was racing with my stock AP1 vs à stock 2nd gen civic type R and I beaten em with about 1-2 car lengths on a lil wet track so we kinda both hade wheelspin @ start last weekend I raced the same civic with the same driver BUT on a dry track and I hard a 60kilograms friend sitting beside me but still lost the match. So I asked the guy if he changed some stuff to his car he sed no, cause he's still waiting for his ecu to be delivered and blablabla. So now I wonder how I could have lost while I won with a big diff last time... I started at 5500 rpm's so that I wouldn't have wheelspin and just raced my way up as usual. Only thing that I done in the mean time is wash my car and fill the oil (actuly a bit to full), I hade even less fuel with me as be4. So whats the cause that I lost it?

Are you serious? This isn't Honda tech, go ask drag racing questions in the street encounters forum. Weight makes a difference, launch makes a difference, wet verus dry makes a difference, and your noobness makes a difference. When you have a real racing question this forum would gladly answer it.

Thank you, have a nice day.

I hope your license gets revoked for street racing so you do not embarrass us S2000 owners any further. Then, in your downtime you could learn some proper sentence structure and grammar.

Embarrass s2000 owners? I'm probly more bringing it respect... If I'd embarrass the s2k ppls wouldnt say: oh sh1t look @ that s2k!!!! There's only 300 s2k's in my country unlike the USA or anything so I'd never embarrass s2k owners.

Beside if you ppls haven't got anything better to do as comment on my "structure, sentence and grammar" plz don't take the the effort.

I'm sorry if id post this in the wrong section, I was just looking to sub forum names and saw this one and were like: well this is racing in what ever way you look at it....

Street racing is considered low class, reckless, and immature in the US and gives owners of the cars used in street racing a bad name, (at least in US culture) So what people are talking about is you embarrassing S2000 owners by street racing. IF this was on a closed track at a sanctioned and legal event please say so and that will clear a lot of things up.

To those getting on him about his grammar: Please take time to see where people are from before bashing them, He is not from an english speaking country, so give him credit for putting together an intelligible english post and get off his back.

I guess this probably isn't that big of a deal where you are from is it? I envy you...

Since it said 1/4 mile track, I was giving him the benefit of the doubt.

If it's street racing, this thread is sooooo going in the trash can.
