Default I guess it's not bad for my first time

Well this Saturday, San Antonio had a big thing going so i decided to run my car and here are my results. This was my first time to run it and i had the most problems with reaction time. I think i could have ran a 13.5 or so but my Potenzas are gettin bald and can't grip for anything but oh well.

The most irritating part is i rev'd to 2000 and dump the clutch and then BOOM, loud *** pop. Announcer said they found clutch rotors on the strip so time for JWT or ACT. I'm glad i can still drive it normally with no slippage but I don't think it will last long.

reaction time dosent matter in your total time. just get that 60 ft down to a 2.0 and you should be around 13.5. and from your trap speed it seems like you might be shifting early. you are traping the same speed as my 03 z went stock.

You done good. Get that 60-foot time down and you are running 13.5X second Z.

Thats why I get ecstatic about 70 degree weather (and am jealous of those who get 30's and 40's regularly.
