Default 1st track runs ever

it was 95 degrees out i couldn't secure a truck to trailer me so i decided to drive since i already paid for the spot at the rental at atco. so all in all i had a blast. i didn't do any burnouts cause for some reason i couldn't manage a smoke show like the people in the next lane. lol (might of been the asr i left on by accident for 2 runs) so after the two runs i didnt even try. so after the 1st two accident runs i turn the asr off and go from a 12.56-12.36-12.25 and then the next 2 runs were almost identical with a 12.27 and another 12.2 run. it was my first time at the track so i was a lil nervous and a little scared cause i had to drive this thing 175 miles both ways ( so a total of 350 mile trip) so that was in the back of my mind. so at the tree i couldn't manage to get the car up on the converter so i was leaving at 12-1600rpm when i should of been well over 2 closer to 3. I was trying to watch the rpms and the lights at the same time and couldnt multi task. so i just punched it when the light turned green. and just got tossed back in my seat and enjoyed myself for a few runs. but theres always next time. maybe with some cooler weather and some better driving skills ill be able to fully see what she can do.

for these runs i had a 3/4 tank of gas, rear tires set at 26 on 17 inch rims full interior

Nice papi, umm they take a week to give you a title change, maybe you want to pm the mod of this forum. Anyway nice 1st time runs, we were all there once! Next time get a trailer and light that thing up and practice makes perfect. If you trailer youll probably go 20 times if not more and that will give you the practice you need to get better!

Nice!

BTW in order to get the 12 second club status you have to follow the instructions in one of the sticky threads. I just did it for the 11 second club. It took a day for them to accept my request and the change was immediate after I clicked update user status. Here is the link for the 12 second status request:

You've approved for your title change. Now all you have to do is go in and complete your 2nd step and your title will be changed.

Congrats again
