Mid to high 12's would be my guess. If you dont do that well dont be disapointed - it takes time to learn a car and the track. Get some good tires and work on your launch. If you do well in your 60 ft you should do well. Post some results when you get them!

As mentioned above, chances are your first time might not be what you're hoping for. Remember, we all had to start somewhere. You didn't mention whether the car is an auto or stick. Check out the "First time" sticky post in here for tips, and be sure to post up results so you can get feedback and work on getting better. Have fun!

yeah asme times as posted above.. when you go to the track, make sure you sit out and watch some runs before jumping right into it. and when your going into the burnout box please make sure you dont drive right through it unless you have skinnies. pull past it and reverse into the box b/c otherwise your going to track water all over. thanks a good luck
