Default first trip to the track went really well i think?

Well this was my first time to the track, I had very low expectations because this is the first car i have taken to the track and my first trip to the track. ive had the car for about a year so ive learned how to drive it pretty decent (its an auto)

my best time was leaving from idle and close to slamming the pedal down. i was hooking like crazy, all three runs i did i didnt spin at all. temps were probably about 95ish.

60 FT : 2.0
1/8 ET: 8.6
1/8 MPH: 84
DA was 2066 when i was racing.

are those decent times for my car (see sig)

Remember it is Summertime. Cars are going to run slower this time of year. Not bad for your 1st time to the track. Seat time is your friend. Good luck.

Its decent, but it can do better. In hot weather my car usually slows down like 2/10ths but (traps same or higher though). I would think you should be trapping higher mph with all those mods. Do you have 2.73's?
Maybe you should try to stall it a little higher , to like 1800rpm, that should help if you get traction.

its an ss so i have 3.23. im sure ill get the time down quite a bit with my seat time like coach said. and im sure if i stalled up it would do a lot better. but i just wanted to see what would happen if i left from idle. that and my car is set up for autox
