Default FINALLY, ET'S for me!!!

Spent my first night at a track ever. it was so much fun except for a few areas but a great experience nonetheless. first things first, here are the numbers from my 3 runs;

1st run
ET: 15.333 @ 88.615mph (let off 20 yards before finish because of the crappy track having hardly any indication lines, i.e.-finish line. would have been faster and quicker, dangit.)
reaction time: .748

2nd run
ET: 15.410 @ 91.074mph (with passenger, went through finish in 3rd gear as opposed to barely in 4th in the 1st run)
reaction time: .601

3rd run
ET: 15.721 @88.519 (awful holeshot, & missed 3rd gear)
reaction time: .549

there was anything and everything there.the second run was beside a guy with a fricken 11 second SS wagon, so i couldn't here anything at the start, including my engine to get a better holeshot. same with a guy in a high 12 second rusted looking T/A beside me in the 3rd run.

now the first run was interesting. up beside a late 90's eclipse modded out the wazoo. i could hear the distinct whine of turbo, and from the looks and sound of it, nearly 3 grand or more was dropped into the car. he asked me before we lined u what i had in it, i said "just exhaust". and the result was nearly identical except for the holeshot which he sucked at (1.082), mind you i let off towards the end searching for the finish line.

sorry i said so much but it my first time and i loved the experience. what do you guys (and gals) think of the times, pretty close to what they should be?
