Your car can do better then that, but its not a badstart at all I dought your MPH was 154.84, miss type?

Hmm, i would have expected you to be somewhere in the 8's in the quarter with a 154mph, jk. I wanted to ask when your time starts at that track. Is it once the light goes green or once you move the car? Also what year, mods, and is your car an auto or manual?

wow, i think that track mistyped ur speed or they need ot get something fixed. aint no way in the world you can do 154 mph in the 1/4th...were u lookin at ur speedo when u were driving?

Is the car an automatic or manual, if manual how are you launching? Don't worry about reaction time yet, worry about getting the driving down pat first, if that car is a manual you should be at least a .5 second quicker. If you're launching it hard, don't, you can launch low and still hit 14.0's, all too often I see guys launching it like they stole it ruining their run.

My 1985 GT ran 12.2@113mph launching on Mickey T street tires, the launch is where it's at, could I have launched harder and maybe gotten .1 better, maybe but then the car ran 12.2 all day every day. Consistency is king at the track, nail down the driving, work on the launch and then pay attention to reaction time, leave on the second yellow as it's fully lit you'll nail down great reaction times. When you do that enter a few bracket races and you'll go home with a smile and a trophy more often than not.

Good luck!

To be honest with you I did not, I think next time I will check it out before I cross the finish line ^^

trapping?? what do you call speed trap!?? >_<

That slip is wrong. You don't have the mods to trap at 110 must less 120 or 150+. There must have been an error in the timing equipment or somthing. You should be good for a high 13 though, you need to get your 60 foot down to the 1.9 range. A set of dr's will get you there.
