Yep that is embarrassing. I'm wondering if that truck was the F-150 lightning?

The way you launch your is not fast enough. Otherwise, you should win the first race.

This is what you should be doing right now... :banghead:

I hope your car is stock and you had some cement bags in your trunk as well.

I noticed that as well. Put your foot on the brake with your left foot, shut off the VSA and put your right foot on the gas, bring up the rev's a bit and PREDICT when you can go, you seem to lose a full second just by sitting there and then going.

It was my first time racing so I had no idea how to even stage. My car is currently Bone stock. I took the car there to get an idea of what it runs and how it runs.Mods are on the way for my next visit.

Look at the bright side: at least you have nowhere to go but up (or down, however you wanna look at it)! And you can certainly show the difference in mods pre/post install via the track...

That was nice, now you have a base line to go with. You NEED to work on your responce time big time. The first run was terrible, but like you said it was your first time, good videos thanks for sharing.
