Cold track and I was one of the first cars out so there wasn't much rubber down. I didn't get the tires warm enough, launched the car pretty lightly and when it shifted into 2nd it broke the tires loose and scared me enough to get out of it and coast through the traps. Think it was 14.x @ 80ish mph

14.395 at 100 2.5xx 60' wheel hop and spinning through 1st and most of 2nd.. it sucked cause it was against a mach 1
blew up the rear on my next and only other run... but i got a good launch and hit 2.0xx on the 60'...
so all in all my worst run is my best run....

15.7 in my bolt on LT1, the track was bad. I just blew the tires clean off and was sideways right off the line back out and same thing when I got in it. I still beat the mustang beside me by a little bit though lol.

14 flat @ 99mph bone stock save for a lid with a 2.1x 60'. The tranny refused to make the 2-3 shift 
My buddy ran a 16.8 @ 90mph in his 01 Formula because he drove right through the waterbox

13 something at like 50 mph. I totally botched the launch and then the car wouldn't go in third so I just put it in 6th and cruised the rest of the way. On a serious pass though my first pass at a 1/4 mile track was my worst. 1.9 60' 12.1 @ 119 with Intake, pulley, exhaust, and nitto's. That same combo my worst 1/8th was also my first with the car when I bought it was a 2.1 60' 8.5 @ 90 mph. I've improved a little since then....

14.3 at 102 bone stock. I owned it for a week and was racing against an 11 second big block El Camino. I could feel his car idling inside mine and I was nervous as hell. I think I dumped the clutch at about 4,000rpm. Blew the tires away through 1st and 2nd and then missed third. I just laughed all the way down the track.

15.86 @ 109 mph... track clocks were messed up, I was first down the track to. Dad ran a 18.8 @ 89 mph in his stock Fiero, has a misfire and vaccum leak we have to figure out.
Second pass was 13.3 @109 mph, cust a bad 60' like 2.34, I can never remember, I know looking at it and subracting the bad 60' from total would have netted me 12.9x, was on basically bald tires.
Probably ran slower but they didn't have times up other times I went.

Once I just roasted the tires off the line and the 1-2 shift and ran like a 19.xx@85mph. My first pass at the track ever with LTs, ORY, SLP catback, lid I ran a 14.0@108 mph. Apparently it's not a good idea to forget to shut off the A/C and traction control.
