Just got back from first time at the track

Well, my times weren't very impressive, but its probably due to about 90% drivers error. It was my first time ever REALLY getting on it. Every run I missed both shifts I didn't do a burnout or dump the clutch, but I got an okay 60' time for being or cold street tires. I learned alot and know I just need practice. A lot of practice. But I got a good idea of what my car is capable. As soon as I finally got it into 3'rd, it would pull like anything, giving me a much better MPH than the car that just beat me
Best 60': 2.419
Worst 60': 3.621
Best 1/8 mile: 10.161
Worst 1/8 mile: 11.416
Best MPH: 75.10
Worst MPH: 44.40

Re: Just got back from first time at the track

Six speed is hard to get down, only one way to get better and thats to go back and practice. We got a lot of great six speed guys on this board who can chime in and help you. I how ever run an auto, burn out, stage, point, shoot and hope it hooks.
