First time EVER at the track last night

Went out to track last night (1/8)... it was my first time to ever run at a track... before this L i have never had a car to ever take... so im pretty new to this whole racing thing. I was very nervous...

1st Run: Did horrible... staged too far and i messed up by trying to back up... light turned green and instead of staying calm and just restaging... i freaked and just hit it and went... spun a little and ran like a 10.??

2nd Run: This was my best run of the night, but I still feel I could have done alot better....

RT: .259
60: 2.128
330: 5.760
1/8: 8.696
MPH: 82.46


3rd Run: I screwed up again... I guess I had too much water on my F1s and I just sat there and spun.... but I still beat the Dakota RT next to me My RT was good, too bad I spun out for almost a second!!

RT: .088
60': 2.363
330: 6.462
1/8: 9.563
MPH: 79.05


well I had a blast!!! i cant wait to do it again.... i want to be LOW 8s.... i think its possible in my truck, just i need more practice... but I guess an 8.6 isnt bad considering iv never done it before...

im addicted!!!! only bad thing is for a daily driver with 70k miles, im just curious if this wear and tear is a good thing..... im guessing not.... not to mention these tires cost $192 a piece, not easy to just sit there and watch them go up in smoke!!

8.7 @ 82.5mph is decent on F1s considering it's your first time.

At least he can stop at the other end.

scott015,

I dread my first trip to the track. I'm sure I'll have some interesting stories tell, too. I'll probably have some so "interesting," that I'll be keeping them to myself.

Good job.
