"day" at the track
Well here is the story for you all. I decided to take my car to the local "track" which is really a small airport during the week and a drag strip on the weekend. Anyway, it looked like a great day but I only got one run in before a minute long rainfall closed the track.... dang. Well I raced a stock 5spd 01 GT and if you look on the attachment I won by a good amount. But my time was a 15.398. That sounds terrible right, but here in El Paso we have terrible weather and are at a high alttitude. Cars here are ussually about a second slower than anywhere else. Do you think 15.3 is o.k. considering that a stock 01 GT runs 16s and most LS1 run high 14s here.

Considering your alititude, and that the hudmity was probably off the scale if it rained right afterwards, not to mention they probably do jack for track prep, you did ok.
