Default At the Strip

Went to the track for the first time tonight...
My first run was the best. I launched at 3,000 rpms. It was amazing to have the car hook like that... I know the car has alot more in it but I was pretty happy with my first time. When I go next I'm going to do some weight reduction and launch at higher rpms.

Times were

60' 1.901
330 5.634
1/8 8.686
mph 80.33
1000 11.320
1/4 13.542
MPH 100.81

Thanks,
I've never felt my car hook up like that because I always drive on the street. I was like Holy Sh*t, that's what it feels like!!!

Nice first time out. You right about the car having more left. You should get another 10th or two just by trimming those sixty times. DRs should be good for 1.7s.
