Default First Time to Track

I went to the track for the first time ever to run my car. I raced two times. One time to get the feel and one time to see what I could get. The first time I ran a 13.9 at 102 mph and the second time I got a 13.3 at 105 mph. I had the stock shifter in it then and I have a short throw one to put in it.
thanks

Not bad! A little more practice and some decent tires might get you into the 12`s.Congrats.

Thanks I had to let off at the end so I might of gotten a 13.0 or high 12.9. Next time I go I am going to launch at a higher rpm. Last time I launched at 3700 rpm's and I never slipped a wheel. Next time I will ttry around 4500.
P.S. My car has 18in wheels on the back and some fairly new rubber.
thanks again

Very respectable for your first runs. That's a good start.
