.. i got 2 runs in. and one was my worst time so far.. a 14.7 at 100. i missed 2nd gear really bad, and it was my first time w/ the track prepped.. so my launch sucked.. that was both my worst et and trap speed.. my other run was like a 14.1. i was very upset.. considering i have been running better on street night w/ bald tires .. oh well i gotta rain check so ill be headin up to the next T&T and hopefully ill have some better luck.
