Default First time at the track

like the title states, just had my first nite out at the track in my Z06. It was only a 1/8th mile track, only length around my area. first 2 were back to back with only staging lane time between them (20mins or so) 2nd 2 runs were about 1.5 hours later and back to back also. Traction control off first 2, and on 2nd 2 runs.

1st run-
Reaction -.8461
60ft -2.3715
330ft -5.7595
1/8 ET -8.46
MPH - 92.48

2nd run- pedal was gone when I went to shift to 3rd so I coasted
Reaction -1.0806 (fell asleep)
60ft -2.1951
330ft -5.5571
1/8 ET -8.6409
MPH - 71.6

3rd run (1.5 hour cool down and clutch fluid evac and bleed)
Reaction -.6621
60ft -2.1009
330ft -5.4382
1/8 ET -8.1833
MPH - 91.39

4th run- was able to get 3rd gear, but pedal was gone when I hit the return lane
Reaction -.5853
60ft -2.1468
330ft -5.5678
1/8 ET -8.2950
MPH - 91.92

Last 2 runs were agains another C5 coupe. I was quicker on launch and et.

I need to replace my hydralic system soon, with clutch. I know I can get the car to break the 8's and I can get it to 1.9 60's with better tires. I ran tonite on stock Goodyear Super's, and I babied the launch some to keep the wheel spin down.

I need more seat time. Alot more. But all and all, I was happy with the car and the evening, except the wonderful clutch pedal. I got to see a C6 coupe with a STS setup, didnt get to see him run tho.

I already have the Tick master, Monster STG 3.5, remote bleeder, waiting to go in, just need to pick up a new slave cylinder now. I have plans on adding a few more things power wise when I am in there. Tonite I got an ok base run on the car, although it was only in the 1/8th

I put a tick mastercylinder in my car late last summer and haven't missed a shift since.......It go very frustrating winning two or 3 rounds and then losing because the car wouldn't go into third......
