Default First time at the track

Well last night my wife and i took our Datsun with the LS1/T56 swap to the track.
First run ever launching a manual we ran a 13.12 @110
Next we ran a 13.035@110.50 lol
I luanched aroudn 3500rpm on my 3rd run and the slip looks like this
RT .206
60' 1.980
330 5.492
1/8 8.332
MPh 87.74
1000 10.767
1/4 12.803
MPH 111.25

Mods are 224/224 114+4 .567" cam (918 springs, hardened PR's)
LS6 intake
hugger headers 1 3/4" primaries
dual 2.5 to 3" single exhuast

We ran it in street trim, both leather seats, full stereo and half tank of gas. We had 245/45/16 Sumitomo tires at 35psi on the back 3.90:1 rear end

Later we ran back to back 13.035 and 13.050 @109 with me hitting the limiter in 2nd gear on one run and shifting at only 6k on the next instead of 6500 Both should have been 12's if I was better at driving. BUT since it was my first time driving a stick at the track and the new motor I'm pretty pleased. We then drove the hour+ home without issues and called it a night.
