Default First time at the track

Had my first run at the track tonight in my SS or any other car ever. Its a fully optioned t-top car (except leather) and was in full street trim. I ran on the stock goodyear F1s. Was only able to get two runs in because of the amount of people that showed up to the track. But I had alot of fun and can't wait till next season. Mods I had are in my sig.

heres my best run, what do you guys think?

R/T .159
60' 2.105
1/8 8.520
MPH 85.98
1/4 13.11
MPH 107.37

Thats enough trap speed to run mid to high 12's. Just get that 60' down and you have it. Also try to do some suspension mods and good tires.

Yeah, I was hoping to dip into the twelves. Maybe with some drag radials and a tune I'll get there. I want to get my 60' under 2.0.

Looks good for your first time at the track. Im still waiting for my first time.
Once you get that 60' down you'll be in the 12's no problem!

Nice job. As already mentioned, work on the hook and 12s are there for the taking.

Good luck!
