Default I finally did it!

I finally took my 86 to the track last night. What blast, I had no idea how fun drag racing could be. I am a little dissapointed in the results though. I am going to have to figure out ways to have better results and still pass emissons. Maybe some of you have done this and could lend me some ideas.

My reaction time is one area in need of help. .573 was my best.

Then the speed in the quarter was 94.348 @ 14.873

I was hoping for a much better time. But is this the norm for a stock 86?

Can't wait to go back. :hurray:
