Default went to track last night

my best time was 14.1 with a 2.1 60 foot with headlight out. i was very inconsistent with my runs though. one would be a low 14 and the next i would do the same thing but i would wheelhop like crazy then spin as if i was on ice at 40 mph then i would finally get going and get like a 15.7 lol. i was hotlapping when i got the 14.1 and it was 95 degrees out. full weight of car, nothing taken out.

14.1 is about average for a stock car.

It's not bad considering how terrible I heard the track was, glad I didn't go and waste my money.

Did you run in both lanes? One side might have been worse than the other, to net you a 15 second pass.

And what were you trapping?

Mine hops occasionally, anti-score kicks in, and basically ruins that run.
