Default First run at a drag strip ever

Richmond Dragway in VA. Had a blast! I'm addicted. My first run I waited for the green light so that why the reaction time is so bad (had a .07 by the end of the night). Left the line from idle this run, left at 2k next run and got similar results, and on my 3rd run left at 3k and didn't get traction till well past the 1/8th (I think my tires were wet). Ran with the mods in signature except the Yank SS3600 (that goes on tonight).

Nice run. With the stall converter you should be in the 12's, though the mph seems a little low for the mods you have listed. That might be due to density altitude though.

a proper tire for racing coupled with mashing it from idle instead of launching from an elevated rpm and you will be on the threshold of 12's
