can you suck at driving an auto or did this track suck
well i went to the drag strip last night and my times really sucked **** both of my runs were 15.2 and i have an auto what is there that i can do to my car to make it faster i plan on a 3200 stall and a shift kit i also think my car is running really rich so would that make me slower. i also think the track was really ****ty everyone was saying theyer were running about 3/4 of a second slower than they normaly do

It's possibleif the track was greasy as could be, you really don't have enough power to be blaming track conditions otherwise...
Are you sure it was the track? Was it warm & humid out when you went?

It's pretty hard to suck at driving an auto. I went 14.0 my first time out with less mods than I have now. I would blame in on the track or your car, not your driving.

Where do you live? It's possible that you live at like 4000+ ft altitude(that would explain the super ****ty time). If not then maybe your car isn't running 100%...
