Cool First time at the track

I made four passes, all of which were in around 2981 DA

I was on 255 bfg drag radials all night

First pass wasnt so bad, except I got demolished by fellow LS1tech member Austin (355z28)

Second pass was the fastest of the night. I ran solo this pass.
The times:
Reaction = .4184
60 ft = 1.834
330 ft =5.2798
1/8 et = 8.1341
1/8 mph = 86.04

Third pass I demolished a mid 90s Cobra(what did you expect? )

Fourth pass I ran solo due to oil in one lane.

Third and fourth passes progressively slower. The track was going away fast at the end of the night.

Here is the numbers for the fourth pass, the slowest one.
Reaction = .0287 <--- chea!
60 ft = 2.0205
330 ft = 5.4791
1/8 et = 8.3516
1/8 mph = 85.67

Overall it was a good night for me, I ran better than expected and the car impressed me.
Thoughts? Opinions? Criticism?

Thanks!

Mph looks about right, but the ET seems slow.

The time of the first pass of an 8.13 for him was in 3500 DA. When the air gets better He will be 7.8's. Its also running 3.23 gears which is far from ideal with a 306 cam.

All cars were a bit off pace. I was 2 tenths off last night. The weather was just not there and it was damn hot out. All in all Tho Matt the car ran great for a $2000 car.
