Just got back from the track
Just got back from the track Hey guys, well I am a in-experienced drag racer. before today I had only been down the track twice in 2 different cars. Today I finally got to fun my 2000 Formula M6, with LT's and Slp lid... Managed some decent times in my opinion, my fastest run was 13.89 @103mph with a 2.2 60ft. Of course street tires, and man I tell you they would not grip 
...... I managed a few 14.00s and 14.1s as well with trap speeds of 104. after 4 runs my rear end started making a poping noise anytime I turned. But IDC because my ford 9" is almost built 
Let me know some helpful hints or just comment good or bad on my times

thats all she had:/ gave it to the floor and redline in 3rd gear... I have one step colder plugs for my nitrous, but I didnt have my bottle filled. Idk if plugs would make much of a difference though. what should I be trapping?

Running in late August/early September I'm sure the air wasn't helping any. In the summer you will run the slowest. In the cooler months you car makes the most power and will yield the best times.
Being your are on street tires you can't shock the drivetrain. Try and preload the clutch (where it almost moves the car). This will help reduce the hit.
When I used to run radials I used to air them down to like 20psi or so. Disconnecting the front swaybar also helps weight transfer. With practice and what I mentioned you should be able to get down to the 2.0 or high 1.9 range.
