Default First Night at the Track

Well i finally made it out to my local track and i think i did pretty decent. My car is mostly stock except exhaust and a K&N air filter.I made a total of 7 runs and this was my best one....

E.T. 16.111
reaction: .704
MPH: 85.178

Just curious what you all think. I spun my tires everytime i took off so i know i can pick up a little time at the launch, but are these numbers about where I should be?

Yeah, your E.T is about right, with you spinning the tires on launch. Your R.T sucks bad, but still doesn't affect the E.T, just means you suck at the tree, which is normal, I sucked to when I first started running years ago. I'm guessing here, but I'd say your AUTO right. If you are, try stalling it to a bout 2k with the stock torque converter, wait for the last big Yellow flash when it's the brightest, let off brake, by the time your foot reacts, your GOOD TO GO!! DO NOT wait for the green, trust me on this. GL
