Yeah, like they said some more experience and you will slash those times. What psi were your rear tires at?

Edit- Wait... was that your best run??

Bill, it was my one and only run, so yea, I suppose thats the best one.

Ah well, live and learn. Got a few things I need to check out on the car, and then back to the drags.

I was very confused, trying to do what the guy next to me was doing, and he didnt do a burnout. Then I got waved forward and lights started going.

They wave when your allowed to start your burnout. There is a light at the end of the track that comes on when your done. First time there mistakes should be expected. Cant wait to see the next couple runs

There was a lot of tire spin. I think you were doing like 20 mph at 100 ft into it haha. It was late and the track was really cold by the time everyone got to run.

Next time drop the pressure in the tires and smoke em. At just remember, you weren't the worst lt1 to run last night...haha

Hey, don't beat yourself up. Just because you didn't listen to a thing I told you or do anything I told you and you sucked ass... you can only get better.
On another note, new personal best for the G8. 13.311 @ 105

Eh, noticed a slight tick under the driver side, 6300 is not exactly recommended for SA rockers...
