Default Went to the track for the first time

Last night I went for my very first time. Didn't do as good as I was wanting to :( It was just a test and tune night, so I wasn't really racing anyone, which was good because I jumped early 3 times :bb It was about 60 degrees and my car was running between 210 and 225. It has 2.59s :cry and is 99% stock (see sig). My 3 best were done by putting it in drive and just flooring it. On the others I tried to stall it up about 1200rmps. Here's my times:

Reaction: .083

I think that if you get your 60' time down closer to 2.0 you'll start to see a big difference. Maybe the auto guys here can give you some tips on a better launch.

Your MPH isn't that much off of mine @ 13.7.

With 2.59 and street tires, leave the TC on. It should help.
