Default First time down the quarter!

Took my first trips down the track tonight. Not sure I knew what I was doing but I ripped off a couple 13.6s. My best had a 13.615 with a 2.15 60' and 102.8mph. This was with street tires (24+psi), lid and catback, full weight and 1/2 tank o' gas.

Pretty fun I have to say. Now to do some research and see if I can pick up a little time.

Good ET for your first time. Your mph is VERY low for an '02 though. Guys are knocking out 110-111mph stock here and there.

Nice numbers for first trip to track. Numbers come down with time, practice, suspension, and mods. Cheers.....

You should be in the 106mph range then with an A4. Maybe 107mph, but that's pushing it.

Have fun!
