Default First time at track

First time at track with basically stock 99 6-spd vert. 33000 miles on stock runflats(almost bald, not as bald as driver). Walked it out with no revs and went gradually to the floor, granny shifted at 6000 (Hit rev limiter before hitting third). 60 ft.=2.25, 1/4 mile 13.2 at 108.6. little disappointed with mph but with wheelspin in the middle of first and messing up the 2-3 shift I was pleased.
