Default Hit the track for the first time

Hey everyone, I finally got to the track last night, and ran for my first time ever. I made 5 passes and these were my two best times. I am very happy with these runs, I just wanted to break into the 12's. All runs were made on stock street tires, with the current mods in my sig. All my buddies said I wouldn't get 12's lol. So What do you guys think?






There were some sweet cars there. A 10 second srt8 challenger, a blown srt8 jeep, cammed c6, some stretched busa's, and lots of fox bodies.

I ran against a intake, pulley, exhaust, tune, termi. He was running 12.2s consistently. I thought he'd be a closer to the 11s though.

Remarkably consistent and excellent reaction times for a first timer. Good job sir. And you are right about that terminator. He should be deep 11s. The driver makes the car.
