First Time at the Strip!
Went down the Woodburn drag strip for the very first time yesterday in my 2000 SS M6. I helped set up banners for my job and was told I could run my car after. I was expecting to do a 1/4 run but they had it set up for 1/8th mile bracket race amongst other employees that went out to help. My reaction times were pretty terrible but with practice I hope to see them drop. The first two runs were qualifying (sorry if that's the wrong terminology), the third run was the first of the ladder race and where I got eliminated... by .0056 seconds!
Side note, the owner of the F150 says he had a super charged raptor engine that makes 650hp at the crank installed in the truck... my 340whp was still enough to take him though
Edit: Time Slips attached, I am #15.

Tons of fun but I need more! Me and my friend with a 5th gen were planning on going on the 22nd so this freebie was some much needed practice haha I know I didn't post them but my reactions times were a .5-- and two .7--, 60' were all about 2.1--. I need to be leaving a lot sooner it would seem.

I plan on installing a P1SC supercharger. I have the head unit and intercooler setup but need to get the fuel and mounting parts still.

I know we're not supposed to ask "What will it run questions" but using a few 1/8 to 1/4 conversion tools online it says I should run a 13.7-13.9 quarter assuming all things consistent including my crappy launches. Does that sound about right?

On decent tires you should expect very low 13's.

I know that if you run a 13.99 or faster in the quarter you need a helmet but I don't know about the 1/8th. Thanks for your input though. a low 13 would be exciting.

Yeah, Pro tree you have to roll deep with these type of vehicles. I have done a best of .430 on a .400 pro tree like that. You shifting manually or letting the car decide?
