First ever track times!!!! Hey everyone. i just ran my car tonight and made three passes. the first and the third pass the time clock and all that was not working correctly. but the second pass i ended up running a 13.4 at 100mph w/ a 2.06 60ft. also my slip said i had a .399 reaction time. Tell me what you think and maybe what would get me into 12's. Granted this was the first time ever i have been down the strip. so that run i would say is not bad for only making 3 runs in my life lol. i want more i want to go faster now. i guess this is how it starts for most people lol. Let me know what ya think. Thanks
i would say you are running on parr! i was thinkin your mph was a bit on the low side but you are an A4....if you had great traction it can also give you a bit less MPH but a better ET so i say good run

Yeh i thought the mph was a little low, but o well. yeh its addicting. and i ran at 75&80 tonight its only been re opened for a few weeks. eventually i will go to mason dixon.
Pull the spare, jack, floor mats, anything loose, and the front swaybar. I drove for years with no front swaybar and never had a problem. Do all that plus get an electric water pump and some gears and you should easily see 12's.

).. ill leave as close to the green light trying to cut a .1000 or better..yeh i know that it will still give you the same E/T but i was proud of that considering that was only my second run ever. and 6Speed i already have the spare, jack, backseats and seatbelts out of the car. not really planning on taking anything else out. Also yeh i was thinking gears and stall. i have factory 3.23's right now and stock stall. that second run i was sitting on the convertor the most i could which is about 1200rpms because anything higher it would have started to roll the tires over lol. and im pretty sure they would not like that at the line.
