Default still getting a 14.19 is pretty damn good I think.

Hell Yeah it is!

With a full tank of gas and stock tires!

Good job!

tire pressure was also less than optimal, bout 32 in rear and 28 in front, a bit backwards from how it should have been.
No use doing burn-outs on street radials. You'll just glaze 'em and end up losing traction. However, just incase you ever want to do a burn-out heres the recipe. Rev the engine above 4k, dump the clutch, quickly press on the brakes and hold. Car will most likely try to go sideways, but will straighten out when the tires start spinning. Make sure you keep an eye on the rpms as it is easy to hit the rev limiter if you're not looking.

Congrats on the times. 10 trips down the track, in a new $30K car, for the 1st time would make me feel guilty for beating on it.

That's cool. Glad to see a 350Z owner drag racing his car.

When is the next time you're going?

I want to go pretty soon. But I don't think I'll be able to make it until March 1. I'm coaching my son's basketball team and then baseball when that's over. He's got 4 more basketball games left and they're all on Saturday. So unless there's a baseball game March 1, that will be the soonest I can make it to the track.

My brother-in-law-in-law has an Audi S4 that I've been trying to talk in to going to the strip with me. He's been reluctant so far.
