First time at the track

Well, I know I need to get my reaction time down but I think I did alright considering my car is bone stock and a convertible. I had lots of fun anyway.

I did about 8 or 9 runs last night and my ET and reaction times stayed pretty steady. I can't wait to go again!

First run:
Reaction: .876
60 ft: 2.122
1/8 ET: 9.008
MPH: 80.50

Second run:
Reaction: .750
60 ft: 2.154
1/8 ET: 9.057
MPH: 80.48

Nice times. What year car, and is it an auto or manual? You could be in the 8's with a 2.0 or better 60'. Way to GO, especially for a stock vert!

It's a 99 Z28, A4. So, I guess if I get better traction, and a better reaction time, I should get a better 60ft time, which would equal a better ET?

Reaction time is completely separate. You coudl sit at the line for 2 seconds and it would not change your ET.
