Default Track's closed - What kind of 1/4 times...

...do you think I would run with my current set up? Sorry to bench race, but it's winter outside and I just got my gears for Xmas. Thanks guys for any input.

Oh, motor only has like 5k on it, only from me.

If you have never been drag racing at a track before... expect your times to suck...

My first run in my stang was a 15.3.... I ended the day on a 14.1.... I just had to get used to the track

Yeah I ran it once in 2004 before I had the new motor and ran a 14.97 as my best run. My first run was pathetic, like a 16.5 because, like you said, I wasn't familiar with the track and I spun like crazy.

Get sticky tires and get that good launch. Better E/T means better 1/4 times...
