Default First Time @ The Track: 13.57 !!

Hi there,
I have an HR 350z (07) with some Bolt Ons (Injen Dual Cold Air Intake), HKS Style Exhaust and Magnaflow X Pipe Welded to it.

It was my first time ever at a track today, was an amazing experience...

First run, I stepped too much on the clutch... 1st gear was a mess... Ran 22 seconds.. Not bad for a first time. I am on my Potenza All Season Tires.


And then I started getting it, understanding how to lunch and I was able to do a

* 2.17 at the 60'
* 13.57 at the 1/4 Mile
* 107.7 MPH at the 1/4 Mile

Here's the sheet:



Here are two videos

* From Inside (Yeah.. I was kind of excited... )

*From Outside

Congrats OP , good time and healthy trap speed especially considering how slow youre shifting.
youll only get better from here on , quicker shifting and better 60' youll shave a couple tenths off easy.
Scared the **** out of me when you screamed haha I had headphones on.

I thought he was shifting & even launching (street tires) pretty well. Sounded like he had fun.

@Frivolous_, According to veloroutes.org, the Elevation at the address is 124Ft, maybe more though.

@Redline: Thanks & Sorry for the end lool ! I was kind of excited (I still am... ) Can't wait to get the High Flow Cats and go back. I saw that you were 2nd on the HR list, nice !
So what have you done to your car? How many WHP are you pulling?
Thanks for your advice, will try to **** even faster
Do you have any other advice to give to launch faster?

@andre12031948, Thanks ! And yes, plenty of fun ! Raced 8 times, 1/4 of my tank (it was full, maybe a mistake ) was gone and I still want more :P !
For the tires, yes! I was surprised myself that I wasn't spinning that bad...
Maybe because I forgot to take the TCS off

Niiice ! My dream is to be to the 300WHP + Club but with what I am having (INJEN CAI, EXHAUST and coming HFCs, that won't be possible :/ )

@Andre: I'm not sure, I know that during my first run, TCS was off. But I remember that I stalled when tacking the ticket, not sure if it was after the first run or after that one
