1st time at the track

Jeff,

Here's my best time for my convertible:

R/T: .624
60': 2.485
1/8: 9.782
MPH: 74.05
1/4: 15.112
MPH: 93.39

It was a blast and I won't come back till I get 3:73's! (at least)

Ouch! That 60' is the only holdback from a 14 second run. Practice makes perfect. With the 3.73's you're probably going to have to leave from an idle and really feather into the throttle lightly. You're not far off though. I can see you getting it down to about 2.1-2.2 with just a little practice which should put you right down in the 14.8 second range.
