Default First time at the track...

...and I got an 11.9 and 120 mph. It took a few tries to get it in under 12 seconds. I kept hot lapping it cause I knew my weakness was in my 60'. The best I could get a 1.9sec. I was on a set of Mickey Thompson DR's.

60ft 1.97
1/8th 7.8
1/8th mph 94.3
1/4 ET 11.97
1/4 MPH 120

Some trap speeds got up to 121 but with lower ET's. What kind of trap speed should I get on street tires?

nice...you might want to stop hot lapping though as that will burn up your clutch and slow down your car. your 60 should pick up along with your et as you learn how to launch
