Default Critique my times!

Hey guys,

So back in May I took my car to a 1/8 mile track for the first time and here are some results from that night

#1--- 8.943 @ 83.93 mph --- 2.232 60'

#2--- 9.092 @ 85.14 mph --- 2.329 60'


Now last week I took my car to a 1/4 mile track finally and here are 2 of my 7 runs which were all very consistant as far as speed, time, and 60'..

#1
60'---2.317
330-- 6.069
1/8---9.085 @ 81.64 mph
1000--11.654
1/4--- 13.830 @ 103.59 mph

#2
60'---2.298
330-- 6.079
1/8---9.089 @ 82.11 mph
1000--11.653
1/4--- 13.835 @ 103.60 mph

My questions:

Is my trap speed on my 1/8 and my 1/4 low from my trip to the 1/4 mile track? I am planning on changing the fuel filter this week in hopes that it will allow for better fuel flow at higher rpm's being I noticed my 1/8 mile MPH is lower the last time I went to the track compared to when I went in May.

I feel that with a better 60' the car is capable of low 13's, or am I getting my hopes up? I thought M6 cars were supposed to trap higher and I am looking through the timeslip database and stock or near stock A4 cars are trapping the same speeds as I am.

Any insight, opinions, and/or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Gotta get some decent 60' times before you can start analyzing runs, IMO.
103 mph-might as well be stock but it's been hot so it's hard to say.
Work on that 60'.

no there was no temp, wind speed/direction, humidty etc. listed on the timeslip.

I do remember it roughly was about 75-80* and somewhat humid with a light wind against us.
