First Time....Pretty Crappy Times

I made three runs early at commerce on Friday.....And I am not all that pleased with my times, but I guess it isn't that bad for the first time.


1st Run:

R/T.....1.559
60'......2.747
1/8......10.398
MPH.....73.22
1/4.......15.730
MPH.......92.08

2nd Run:

R/T.....1.454
60'......2.607
1/8......10.144
MPH.....73.96
1/4.......15.426
MPH.......93.03

3rd Run:

R/T.....1.101
60'......2.559
1/8......10.110
MPH.....73.27
1/4.......15.456
MPH.......91.84


My reaction times are blowing wanghole and I was bogging down a lot on the start....I guess I just need more practice on the launch

Forget about your reaction time. It does not affect your ET. However you need to learn how to launch. Those 60' are horrible. Are you stick or auto and how do you launch?

yea I had a blast...everthing looks a lot different from inside the walls. I know my launches were sucking some serious hole....But next time I think I will drop it around 2100 to 2200....Normally If I drop it above 2300 I will just roast my tires...So i think I will try that next time. I will proabably go again in like two weeks. My third race I went up against a Z06....WOW..those things are fast. He ran a 12.5.
