Cool Results from weekend race

Well guys like I promised, here are the results of my race on saturday. I was very please with my car and how much it responded to the cat back and headers. Also the fan switch was a very big help in the results. These runs where done with maybe 30-40 pounds (I think) of stuff in the car that I usually drive around in and also with a full tank of gas

first run of the day: Left on Idle and didn't pay attention
reaction 1.220
60ft 2.286
330ft 6.062
1/8 et 9.151
1/85 mph 79.84
1/4 et 14.061
1/4 mph 100.65

2nd run of the day and the best! : Stalled it up to 1,200
reaction .664
60 ft 2.041
330 ft 5.713
1/8 et 8.749
1/8 mph 81.06
1/4 et 13.596
1/4 mph 101.87

3rd run of the day: Stalled it up to 800 and didn't get a good burn out

reaction .598
60 ft 2.082
330 ft 5.788
1/8 et 8.847
1/8 mph 80.43
1/4 et 13.736
1/4 mph 100.88

Last run of the day: Beat a supra to the finish line stalled it up to 800

reaction .614
60 ft 2.032
330 ft 5.740
1/8 et 8.801
1/8 mph 80.33
1/4 et 13.693
1/4 mph 100.92

I was so excited that I ran the 13.5, I took a break from racing to show my girlfriend the results . Thats when I lost my concentration and game plan. I was thinking I should of kept racing. I know I could of got a lower et if I would of taken all the stuff out of my car and tried different brake torque techniques. I just wanted to see how fast the car would be with all the stuff I drive around in everyday. And it was the first time I have my own stickey tires to use and also practice on doing a good burn out. And finally I actually did a good burn out. I only raced 4 times only, since I had to do some christmas shopping. The next time I go out to the track I will now know how to do a good burn out, I will take the stuff out of my car and also try the different brake torque techniques. Again guys I couldn't done this with out your help. Again I appreciate all the help and sorry for the long post. Thanks and happy holidays.

That's Excellent!
Don't worry about Reaction Times much, don't affect ET.
Your MPH looks good enough for a little lower ET, maybe 13.3's, that 60 ft is still giving you some trouble, huh?
Spinning?

Any rear suspesion mods?
2 that really seem to be working for people are the LCA relocating brackets and the adjustable torque arm. You can put more down force on the tires from these changing you Istant Center and Pinion Angle.
If you want to try again "on the cheap" ; unbolt the sway bar end links, play with air pressures, remove all unneccesaries, heat those tires up real good!..
Anyways I'm envious, my track don't open 'til mid April..
