Default First time to the track!

Went to the track on Friday for the first time in my life. I was pretty happy with it. Track was right by the seacoast, so elevation was right around 0. Mods listed in sig.

Keep in mind these times were with tires at 30 psi, check engine light on for a failing cat, 80 lb sub box in the trunk, full tank of gas, and not warming up tires (didn't know what I should do for that) BFGoodrich KDW

Run 1:-------Run 2:
RT: .691---------.334
60': 2.230--------2.265
330: 5.899--------5.939
1/8: 8.873--------8.926
mph: 83.27-------83.10
1000: 11.443-------11.496
1/4: 13.628-------13.682
MPH: 103.30-------103.17

And my 3rd run was a fail. Just sat there spinning, so was a 2.6 60' with a time of 14.5. Still trapped at 103 mph though. Reaction time on that one was also .3something

I'm going again in 2 weeks, hopefully all the problems listed above will not be an issue this time around. Hopefully will see 13.3-13.4?

it makes me mad that the best time I ran was a 14.052 at 105 friday and you easily in the 13's. Did you go to NED friday if so I was there too and the only camaros I saw were the Junk yard dog and a black SS one.

I was the black SS at NED. I'm going to go again next Friday weather pending. Was going to go this week but it looks like it is going to be cold.

Talked to one guy in a Pewter TA, he was running 13.3's bone stock. Only thing done to the car was a filter and lowered.
