Default first time at track

I'm not satisfied with my times, but it shall do for now. track was crappy and almost 100% humidity. best time was 14.7 at 94.3 mph with a 2.25 60 foot. first ran a 15.9 due to bad traction. Lowered the tire pressure and got better as i got use to the track and my car. had 5 runs. 15.3, 14.9, 14.9, 14.8, and 14.7. I think i could hit 14.4 at another track, but that's another story and you guys dont' want to hear that sh-t.

i ran with my 94 hb dx, with a manual conversion and a b18c1 motor, jdm dc sport 4-1, no name brand intake, nasty sounding apexi ws exhaust, and a stage 1 clutchnet clutch with a 8.5lb flywheel and year old kumho 195 50 15 tires.

better tires and i could do 14.4

i dunno i dont see how you can lower your time mores
your 60' is pretty decent specially for street tires
unless your shifting is slow or your spinning when you change gears i dont think you can get down to 14.4, maybe 14.6 imo but thats me foolio

dsc: wanted to go many times, but keeps raining.

airon: i went to an old track in mississippi and everybody says the track is pretty crappy. my friend ran his car at the miss. track and at the track in baton rouge, Louisiana (near where spanky lives) says that this track is much more crappier than baton rouge track. he ran consistent low 15's today and at the baton rouge track he ran consisten low 14's

so i dunno, im guess i can do better too, i spun on second everytime. I was averaging .5 and .6 reaction times, but dat don't do nothing to the time. well probably going to the other track in a month to find out.
