NEWB at the track results!

First of all.... I have never even been to a race, let alone driven one at the track... but here is what I got with mods in sig. First two passes were to see the track and get a feel. Stock 'verter and street tires so I was spinning like mad, but nonetheless here are the #s:

1/8 ET: 8.640
1/8 mph: 88.72
1/4 ET: 13.280
1/4 mph: 110.01

I'm a newb as well but looking at your mph, I'd say you can definitely reach 12's ... What did your 60' look like?

Get some drag radials. Once you figure out the launch you should be in the 12's. Your mph is better than mine often is... I was trapping 109 last weekend and running 12.2's.
