I would say low 13 high high 12s just depends on quite a few things but to give you a general idea. Probably a 8.5-9.0 in the 1/8. Depends on alot pf things but gives you an idea.

That certainly could have very high 12's in it; however it's not likely considering it's your first track outing. Just work on paying attention to what works to launch the car as that is going to make all the difference in your case.

Agree completely. My car lost quite a bit of time going from sumitomo tires to nitto tires i dont really get it but whatever lol but i noticed with my current tires the harder i launched, even though i get more spin out of the nittos, the better time i ran compared to before i found a sweet spot on my sumitomos launching in a middle rpm range of my launches and i ran better. Gota get a feel for what the car does the best with. Takes time. If you got a backroad you know of thats never traveled try launching there and see where it does its best.
