First time at the track did I do?

Just wanted to get some input if my car is running what it is supposed to? I live in colorado with an altitude of 6000 feet above sea level.

Best N/A pass was

r/t .053
60' 2.386
330 6.425
1/8 9.762
mph 73.98
1000 12.603
1/4 14.991
mph 94.30

Best N20 Pass

r/t .612
60' 2.385
330 6.109
1/8 9.079
mph 83.65
1000 11.648
1/4 13.778
mph 104.55

I take it your on street tires. That 60ft is really hurting your times. If you could cut a 1.75 60ft you would bring your et down around a full second.

Well, at least you have a nice gain to look forward to if you find some traction.

I should be well into the 12's with some slicks then huh? What do you think the car would run at sea level?

I would get some traction, change to 373's and that car would run in the 12's at 6000 feet, and low 12's at sea level.

I don't, I think he'd probably run in the 11s at sea level on the juice.

11's would be amazing considering I have under $4,000 in the whole car
