Wow congrats! Pretty impressive for first time being out.

What mods are done and what tires were you on? M6 or A4? What were the 60' and 1/8th mile times?

Nice pass.

Cool, we're they the 555R's or the street tire? Drop those mids and get some LT's, you'll notice a good difference.

At 108 MPH with a good 60 ft, you could be in the 12.40s or little better Id do some work on the 60 ft times.

improve your reaction time. that will also help. my first time at the track my reaction time was round same as your. second time i went and so onmy reaction time avgs .1100 to .0800.

one older guy at the track gave me tips on reading the lights and since then reaction time is great...but 60ft is 2.2XXX

Reaction doesnt really hurt your ET the clocks don't start til you break the beams, As a general rule (not iron clad) for every tenth reduction on 60 ft tims you can drop your Et by 2 tenths. again just a general rule.

His reaction time doesn't matter unless he's bracket racing. When first going to the track reaction time shouldn't even be an object.

He should just be focusing on his launches at this point. Especially with an M6, little more work than just rolling on the right pedal in an A4. If anything the 60' needs to come down as that will yield the most benefit in the way of ET.
