So I went to the track
I ended up going with my friends to the Texas Motorplex which is a 1/4 mile track. This is my first 5- speed which I have been driving for 4 months. Also my first time to race.
But anyways, my first time was slow as hell which was a 14.7 at 90mph. my last run which was my fourth one, I got 14.42 at 97mph. I had raced a nissan z and got beat lol. rawr!!!!
I was dissapointed with the times but I was told I did good for my first time. What do yall think and are there any pointers any of you have? I started off at about 2500 rpms.
O btw, the tree on the starting lights wasn't turned on either, two stage lights lit up then a guy hit the button for green sometime after that. reaction time was another issue.
I have an 05 GT.

Take out the system, Spare tire, Jack. You can even let some air outa your tires, to a certain PSI. Also if you want remove the back seat its not to hard.
When you shift, instead of bringing your foot straight off the Clutch once you shift, Kick it to the side, dont granny shift!
