Default My first time at the track!!

Well, I went to the local 1/8 track yesterday for the first time. I got in five runs, and now I'm addicted. I quickly learned my stock tires are absolute junk and i spun very badly. Even when I took off at half throttle from idle. I'll have to work on that. I'm not sure about the weather, but my best uncorrected times were:

R/T------.777
60'------2.205
330------5.891
1/8------8.881 @ 83.05mph

I thought that was pretty good for my first time at the track. It is a full weight car with stock tires and only a lid and BG Ram Air with 1200 miles. 3/8 tank of gas and everything else was completely stock. I can only improve from here.
