Hey all! I went to the track for the first time in my life. It was only an 1/8th mile track though. I had been reading a lot of suggestions for first timers on here, but I think my nerves got to me and I forgot stuff. Here are my runs:

Run #: 1 2 3
Reaction: .9779(lol) .3610 .4648
60ft: 2.5433
330ft: 6.4701 6.313 6.54
ET @ 594ft: 9.1141 8.9541 9.1820
1/8: 9.7012 9.5419 9.7691
MPH: 76.65 76.55 76.65

I'll take any criticism, but some that I could use for the better will be more appreciated. I think my problem is somewhere at the beginning...
Notes: Didn't have 60ft times on my first 2 runs. Ran stock with spare and jack still in car(went to the track at the spur of the moment and I had nowhere to stash my stuff)
Interesting stuff:1st run was against a kid and his 5.0. He ran a 10.47@69.55
2nd run was against another 5.0(MODDED). He ran a 7.77@89.09
3rd Run was against a SLOrrado(VW Corrado). He Ran a 10.25@70.41

Any modifications?

Your 60' times are super slow. Head back out and practice again

I suggest playing with your tire pressure a little.

No mods. My thread didn't post the way I wanted it to. Hope you figure the mess out.

All I can say is practice that launch. 3k rpm and ease the clutch out.

3k may be to high for a 6mt on stock tires
