Default First time drag racing my 01 T/A WS6 M6

Last Sunday I went up to Island Dragway with my 01 T/A WS6 M6. First time ever racing the car I ran 13.6 @ 106MPH with a 2.3 60' due to some pretty worn out street tires. I didn't think it was a bad run, I just know I could of ran alot better...the next run I tried slicks and that wasen't too good, my driveshaft snapped. But its fixed now and all is good, here is my run vs. a Lightning:

Not bad, remember we all have to start somewhere.

Car should have low 13s or high 12s in it, just keep having fun and making runs and you'll get better and learn more with each pass.

01 TA, just like Villian said, gotta start somewhere. You knew the tires were bad so you stepped up and stepped HARD from what it sounds like. Get it fixed and get back out there

Couldn't see the times for the Lightening, but at least you had a fender jump on him
