Default first time at track

yep, finally got around to going to the track and boy!! did i choke . i only got to run two times cuz so many people were there. my first pass i spun all the way thru first and finally hooked up. i still did 14.2 @ 107 mph. thats pretty fast trap considering i choked. the second pass i took it easy off the line but totally missed third gear .i guess i was nervous and wasnt thinking straight. but still did 14.7@98 mph. still not too bad considering. people there said the trap time was great and if i could get the car to hook up good i could easily be low 13's maybe high 12's.

When you start to hook, your mph will drop. Keep at it. the car should run mid-low 13s no problem.
