Default first ever runs

had my first runs ever this weekend at New England Dragway. best time was a 13.54 @ 106.xx

most of the time i was running a 14.0 cuz i havent figured out how to launch yet. i was mostly getting hideous 60' times of like 2.6 , except my 13.54 run, i got a 2.3 second 60' my shifts were 'ok'... could be better, but wasn't miserable. my throws are acceptable to me, but i need to be able to dump that clutch faster.

i will be needing more practice... pronto. if i had a clue what i was doing, i would think i could be running low 13's with more practice.

I believe I spoke with you there in the staging lanes. It was my first time at the track too. My best was 13.7 with a 60' of 2.1 in full street setup. This was with my 95 Formula A4 with most bolt-ons. All 4 runs I made yesterday were right around 101.5 mph.
