OK, don't laugh at me. I'm still learning (and intend to til the day I die). :p

This was my first time on a real 1/4 mile track.

Best Run of four:
13.78 sec. @ 105. MHP

No mods yet other than a K&N filter. (Does that really count as a mod?)

Areas for improvement:
1. Better reaction times. I think it would be more accurate to say better timing on the light countdown.

2. Finding the right balance for launching. I spun/hopped the tires one run.

3. Shifting. Around here on the street, I only need 1st and 2nd to pass everyone off a light. By that time I can casually hit 3rd and up.

Hey we all have to start sometime, sounds like you've got the right attitude.
I just started playing mid summer myself. getting used to going as soon as you see the third yellow is hard for me,and I still get .7&..8 R/Ts at best
As for getting it to hook an go I love my hoosier's (drag slicks non street) And thank god for my automatic. you'll get there, it takes track time & playing with tire pressures.
GOOD LUCK.
