Default first time at the strip, need to practice

last night i went to the track for the first time. it was the Sreet Warriorz street legal drags at Richmond. it was heads up run what ya brung. I drove 1 hour to the track, did 16 hot laps with 13 wins, with a best of 13.1964@107.30, 3 loses which consisted of 1 red light, 1 total loss of traction, and 1 11 sec Honda drag car. the LS1 guys that I was hanging around with were too modded to have a good comparison and they were averaging 12.8s. cool guys they were trying to coach me as I had never done this before. there were bikini contest, burnout contest, car show, etc.... i could never get lined up with what i wanted. the closest run i had was a BMW M5. the Mach1 i finally got to run ran a 14.56@102 to my 13.43@105. we both spun a little. overall i was happy considering what everyone else was running. the drag cars, like 2 of them, were running solo passes and the only reason i lost to it was because no one else would freaking go because it was a drag car. i just got tired of the wait and said i'll run him. i didn't have a pride issue to loose. they were test and tuning but they weren't suppose to be there. temp was 82.9*, humidity was 58%, 75ft elevation, DA 1841, and the track sucked if that gives you enough info to decipher and critique my runs. corrected numbers were 12.92@109.647. I’ll have all the slips as soon as I figure out how to convert them to digits. thanks for the advice guys if you are here.

my best run looked like this

RT .2003 best was .0702
60FT 2.0586
330FT 5.6853
1/8ET 8.5845
1/8 MPH 85.31
1/4ET 13.1964
¼ MPH 107.30
