So far I'm very disappointed, my first run was a 17.660 at 84.40. Yes thats right I ran a 17.6 with a 3.128 60ft, some mustang dropped a driveshaft, so the techs had to prep the track. When I launched it just spun, I tried to feather the gas but that didn't help so I hit 2nd gear massive spin and hop. It was the only time I could chirp 3rd gear too. My next 2 runs were 16.578 and 16.651 with 2.7 60fts. The next 3 runs I let the car cool some and netted 2 16.0x at 85-86mph. On my final run I got a 15.939 at 86.52 with a 2.412 60ft. Needless to say I was expecting more, but since I had so much wheelhop (broken mount 
) there was no way I was going to hook. I had to reinflate my tires back to 32psi because at 22psi it would just bog after the wheel hop. I tried clutch slips/dumps around 4000-5500, it still bogged after the wheelhop. On a side note there were a couple camry guys out there too. ONe was a solara 5spd with TRD SC running mid 14's, I didn't see an exhaust so I figure the only mod was the SC. The other camry was a 95 V6 auto that was bone stock, he was running 15.9-16.1 at 86-87mph. Bnut was there in his V6 accord with intake and pulleys. He ran 15.4-15.7 with traps around 87-89mph. There was a celica GT-S that was running 14.7's with intake and exhaust 
. So I weighted the se-r, without me its 2590lbs 
. This car is supposed to be around 2500lbs, so given my 123fwhp and 2740lb weight with me no wonder I ran so crappy. Once I fix my broken mount(s), I know I can knock off 1-3 tenths.

Hey thats cool...
That sounds like what I did on 5 out of 7 runs my first day at the track.
I would launch just a bit too high and spin like a **** and get a 3.0-3.5 60' it was funny cause I have a bunch of timeslips with runs as bad as 16.979@89.2mph with a 3.36 60'
better 60' will come with practice I hope!!!

Damn, those 60 foots are as bad as mine. You know as well as I that it's all in the launch. I have yet to come close to hitting a 2.2 60 foot.
Your trap speeds look a bit low for a SE-R. How many miles do you have and what are your mods? I was always under the impression the old box SE-R is pretty much a 14 second car with slicks and a intake and exhaust.
