Default First trip to the track

First trip to the track today, with my 01 WS6 M6. I have headers, lid, paper filter, Flowmasters hung off the headers, 4.10's and a tune by myself via HPtunere. These runs were full weight, with 3/4 tank of gas. On radial tires, (now I know its not a 11 second pass or anything, but i was stoked, and all I coudl think of was coming and getting my 12 second badge )first pass was as follows:
R/T : .494
60' : 2.262
330' : 5.838
1/8 : 8.712
MPH: 85.64
1000' : 11.167
1/4 : 13.222
MPH : 109.64

Then, Second pass, which got me wanting the 12's badly:
R/T : .347
60' : 2.130
330' : 5.713
1/8 : 8.582
MPH: 85.95
1000' : 11.031
1/4 : 13.084
MPH : 109.65

Third Pass:
R/T : .036
60' : 2.286
330' : 5.892
1/8 : 8.765
MPH: 85.70
1000' : 11.208
1/4 : 13.255
MPH : 110.32

Fourth Pass:
R/T : .052
60' : 2.215
330' : 5.791
1/8 : 8.658
MPH: 85.91
1000' : 11.100
1/4 : 13.146
MPH : 110.06

And the Fifth and Final pass finally getting my 12.90:
R/T : .235
60' : 1.992
330' : 5.529
1/8 : 8.399
MPH: 85.31
1000' : 10.853
1/4 : 12.906
MPH : 110.00

Will have a video up later of my pass, but for now....
Here are a few pics from the day:

There is some pretty fast talons/eclipses around here, on is a 11.2 second car, the other is a 11.8 consistently, so im looking for a few imports to work over here soon :-) Here is a vid of the car. Kinda sucks, as he doesnt zoom in, but you can tell he is as excited as I am.

+1 on lowering the 60. Your MPH should be good for mid 12's. Sticky tire should do the trick.

Not bad for street rubber. As mentioned, 10-bolt life is a big issue with these cars, and can be even moreso with a stick car b/c of all the shock with gear changes.

Keep at it, and lower et runs should be in your future!

good run, you nailed the 60foot on the last run. I think 60 foot times have alot to do with track prep too
