Default First time drags

Got out to Iowa Speedway today for my first crack at drag racing.
Along with 6-7 other c5's/c6's plus around 40-45 other cars. My personal best was 8.198 in the 1/8th..... I need to find the 7's but with the stock gears/trany the stars will have to be lined just right. I think I'd do better in the 1/4 mi. as the car seems to be pulling away at the end of the 1/8th just as I have to shut it down Anyway had a great time and I know I'll be back
