Your reaction time can make all the difference in a quarter mile race. As soon as the lights change to Green the average Torquecars member takes around 1.5 – 2 seconds to get the car moving off the line.
You can probably judge the light changes after a few runs and cut precious time on the launch. To keep your reaction time sharp avoid alcoholic drinks and heavy greasy food and get plenty of sleep the night before.
Drift car setup and tuning a drift car
For drifting you must have a rear wheel drive car or a four wheel drive car which has most of the power going to the rear wheels. Assuming you want to go into drifting on a budget you will need a car you can afford to break and repair easily. You will have lots of crashes, and mistakes when you are starting out so something like a Ford Sierra or an older American car will have a ready supply of cheap parts.
