Default Shitty times for my first visit to the track.

Here are my 2 best slips.

60'--1.855
330--5.526
1/8--8.481
MPH--84.64
1000--10.967
1/4--13.430
MPH--108.45

I had a bad shift on that run.

60'--2.305
330--5.984
1/8--8.930
MPH--84.64
1000--11.425
1/4--13.525
MPH--107.85

The 60' is the problem on that run.
The car has a few issues though. I am running on 245-50-16 Daytona ZRX tires. (READ: **** ) My clutch pedal was also sticking to the floor after every run and it was kind of hard to get the car in each gear. My car has stock suspension and is untuned after the LT install. (No EGR/AIR/cats) Is my driving bad? I watched the video of my 13.525 run and my car is spinning through all of 2nd gear, but all of my shifts are quick. I think the main problem is my tires. Im going back when I get my spec 3 X-pad, and updated hydraulics. Most of my 60's were in the 2.2-2.4 range. The 1.8 60' I pulled out of my *** was when the track had fresh compound on it. Any help/suggestions are appreciated.

Dusty,

You need a better clutch and some sticky tires and you should have 12's with no problem.

if that clutch is toasted that's gonna cause all kinds of problems. don't sweat it..get that clutch in and put a drag radial on it and you'll be rockin.

Thanks for the encouragement. It doesnt seem like the clutch is slipping at all, but the pedal would stick to the floor after every run.
