Default I'm back from the dragstrip

I went to the Silver Dollar Dragstrip in Reynolds, Ga tonight @7pm. I don't how to download my timeslips but I ran 12.9s all day. This was my 1st time to the dragstrip ever. Here's the breakdown of my timeslip:


R/T... .361
60' ... 1.815
330... 5.290
1/8... 8.223
MPH... 83.28
1000...10.768
1/4...12.908
MPH...105.75

I know I should of ran faster than that. It was over 90 to 95 degrees. I don't know maybe ever hotter. I will get some Mickey T's next time. I just need to practice more. But a 12 second street car isn't so bad at all. I had a blast. Didn't have to worry about cops pulling me over for speeding. But basically, I ran a 12.9 with 105.75 trap.
