First time ever at track.

Are these times any good? I know I need some practice.
60' 2.307
1/4 14.19
MPH 100.24
95 FireHawk. K&N, Lakewood control arms, HPP3, TB bypass. 6spd. I'm either fryin the tires on the launch or not getting out of the hole hard enough I can't get nothing in between.

Not bad. Get that 60' time down and your et will drop.
People say for every .1 off of your 60' equals .2 off your 1/4 et.
Practice makes perfect.
Which track did you run at?

Not bad. I'd say your 60' needs some work and something like Nitto 555's at the track wold shave a good 2-3/10ths easily. On slow tree launch right on the 3rd yellow, try not to stage too deep either. Your car will respond well with a few mods like longtubes and catback of some sort, Corsa, Borla or something good. Good luck.

It has the SLP Drivers Side Exit cat back with 3" pipe and 2 1/2" y-pipe, but I still have the original tires on the car and they're pushin 9yrs. I think I'll do alot better with a stickier tire and a little practice. I'll probably get headers and gears in the near future. I want to get 13.40's with these mods.
Muncie Dragway is where I ran.

Drag radials and practice. It takes more than one day to become John Force.
