Gotta wonder just HOW much of an impact the setup makes, when it comes to situations like that. I'm sure the given 'hardtrack' setup is good for a decent time. I've raced competitively on Blackwood, and even Fern Bay with just the starter setup.
Focus on your shifts, flat-shifting is a given, manual clutch is quicker.
Make your lauches SMART, sometimes bliping or feathering off the start will help the rear tires hook better.
But most important, RT! When it comes to drag racing, your reaction time can make or break a good pass.
