1st time Drag Strip

I just went out to the track this past weekend.

Best Run Temp was 48
R/T .939
60' 2.761
330' 7.703
1/8 mile 11.654
MPH 62.09
1000 15.055
1/4 17.929
MPH 78.18

My first time ever on a strip.
I brake torqued it to around 2200 and shifted that automatic with the power of the hold button. Shift from 1st to 2nd at about 6800, 2nd to 3rd at 7100 or so i tried.

I then got in a street car bracket race.
16 cars 1st round dialed in at 18.20 -------- ran 18.208 won!
8 cars 2nd round dialed in at 18.10 ------- ran 18.212 won!
4 cars 3rd round dialed in at 18.15 ------- ran 18.304 lost

Not too bad for my first time. I had fun. Before I went out though, I weighed the car and got close to an even 2600. People tell me, that is heavy so I have some weight to get ride of. Like 100 lbs if I want 17.8....

Not bad for an auto. Just need to work on your reaction time.
