I took my stock 07 to the track (Part 2)
I'm an amateur and this is my second time to race. 
Temperature: 45 degrees
For comparison: There were 4 or 5 350Z's, I'm not going to give away their times b/c they might be on this site. But NONE of them got into the 13's.
However, besides my 07, there was one 03 that did manage a 13.XX
MY TIME-SLIP
Conclusions: If it wasn't so busy last night, I would have been in line continuosly. But all 4 lanes were packed with cars and trucks and a Lambo Murceilago. Wait time was like 45 minutes.
Another Conclusions: On my second run, the time clock malfunctioned and I ended up with somebody else's time-slip. The time-slip read some weird numbers.
Somebody in the stands told me that I ran a 13.9 on that run. On my third run, MY PEDAL STUCK TO TEH FLOOR! 
I had to pick it back up with my foot, so my run was a waste. The burning clutch smell became stronger.
1 Moar Conclusions: I am working my way down to a 2.0 60'. I need some practice on my launch. I feel more comfortable at the line though.
Give me teh feedback!

Nice times. What tires, gas, tire pressure you running?
Other than that, it sounds like a fun, if busy, night. I can't believe how crappy the time slips look though. Ours have a lot more information and they have a nice layout that makes them easy to read. Just an observation.
I'd be interested to see how you do if you add a few bolt-on mods. I haven't seen many people with time slips from stock 07 and after bolt-ons with 07. let us know if you run at the track again.

You keep doing better. Good work. I see 13.5X seconds in the near future.
BTW post your time slip here:

I think you are #13.

I'm not trying to sound ignorant, but I'm not going to waste my money on bolt-ons. IMO, they really don't add much. My car will remain stock. I might consider turbo when it releases, maybe or maybe not.
It was fun! But it was crowded.

If I recall, it was around 3,000-3,500 rpm.
If you go easy on it, you will get a slow 60ft time. Let the clutch out rather quickly with minimum wheelspin and that should be the sweet spot.
If it wasn't so busy that night, I would have raced a lot more.
