Default bad trip to the track

Went to the local test/tune. got one run in before it started raining. I didn't do a burnout and launched very easy, since this was my first time at the track. i did the 1-2-d shift and it slipped during every gear change. I ran a 13.2. prolly coulda got high 12's with a good launch. but, on the return road, i started getting a tick. I messed up 2 of my rockers, somehow. not sure how it happened but i'll get it fixed. next time it gets on the road it'll be with a new trans, so i'll go back to the track and i expect low 12's.

I'm pretty sure it was 108, can't find my slip at the moment.
i know there was something messed up with the timing system tho, it said i ran a 5.0 in the 1/8th, and it didn't have a mph for that. lol.
