Default First time at the track with the xfire
I've never drag raced before in my life so last night was a learning experience. My car's an 04 manual with magnaflow cat back and drop in K&N filters. Here are the time slips...

First run Second run Third run

R/T .571 .480 .373
60ft 2.511 2.513 2.564
330ft 6.704 6.767 { 7.282 }
1/8 10.112 10.233 { 10.943 } Missed 2nd gear... Ooops
MPH 73.42 72.12 { 69.14 }
1000ft 13.007 13.151 13.950
1/4 15.620 15.644 16.503
MPH 79.00 90.73 88.73

The first run i honestly had never been to a track before and let off the gas pedal about 150 feet or so before the finish line which explains the slow trap speed of 79 mph. The second time up i launched it to high up in the tach and the traction control (even though it was off) stepped in and the car pretty much laid down off the line but reached nearly 91 mph. The third run i missed second gear which i thought was impossible but i managed to do it any way but it explains the horrible 330ft and 1/8 mile times and low speed at the 1/8 mark but still managed to make it to 89 mph. So if I could of combined my first launch and second trap speed of 90.73 mph i'm pretty confident i could have shaved in down to the low 15's. Or just not let off the gas before the finish line.
