Default First time at track, howd i do?

Ran my 01 Formula at the track the other night, car is 01 formula 6 speed with 29,000 miles and 0 mods, bone stock.

my best run of the night was a 2.25 60 foot time and i ran 13.9 at 101 mph, losing alot of traction lol, so howd i do? i need to work on launching, but does those times seem decent?

Try a tune up , plugs, wires, air filter, fuel filter, and pcv valves that may be why your trapping a little low

Where are you located?

Do you know the density altitude when you ran?

These could be a factor in your trap speed.

Well where you located? if you are in higher elevation that will affect the times.
I ran a 13.4@104 with the 00 LS1 which was an A4 in July at 186 ft above sea level at VMP in Richmond, Va

If you are not in the mountains you should be trapping 13.1-13.3@104-107 mph. Your 60' could use some work.
