Default Track Times

Went to the track tonight and drove away very dissappointed to say the least. I REALLY need to prectice. I got about 8 or 9 runs, red lighted 2 times because of rolling out of the staging lights backwards [:@] Anyways what i found as a problem is with my gas pedal sticking. When i was staging the throttle started to stick when sitting at idle. I tried to gingerly push the pedal to find it was hard then when i did push it it revved over 2000rpm. This has a lot to due with the times i ran and need to fix it, weather it means putting my stock throttle body back on or whatever i need to do. Anyways enough chatter, on kuhmo estca supras heres my best 2 times.

R/T .827
60 2.357
1/8 9.749 @ 75.69
1/4 14.888 @ 96.47

R/T .864
60 2.359
1/8 9.781 @ 74.67
1/4 14.984 @ 94.84

I had my best reaction time was .452 and then i continued to spin through first so that ended up being a 15.2. My first thing on my list is to figure wtf is going on with the throttle, after that practice, practice and more practice. Tell me what you think good or bad.

Thats not bad at all for your first time I had a friend that ran an 18.04 in his GT on his first pass. Get you some Nitto dr's and that time will drop alot.
