1st track experience-how did i do?

Went over to national trail raceway today. i had an awesome time! but had no clue what i was doing...just having fun. i felt like there were waaaay too many imports there though...anyways my first run was

R/T 1.412 <---
60 2.444
330 6.484
1/8 9.651
MPH 78.37
1000 12.372
1/4 14.659
MPH 98.01

i really really really suck at driving. i revved to about 3K rpm and well dropped the clutch and just sat there and spun on my bald street tires. i mightve let off before the end though not too sure..

second run

R/T .194
60 2.029
330 6.708
1/8 10.057
MPH 75.41
1000 12.884
1/4 15.227
MPH 96.82

this time i only revved to about 2000-2500 rpm and kinda let the clutch out easier. im sad to say i missed the 1-2 shift and that sucked. i really think i got a good start that time and kinda blew it. again mighta let off too early...oh well always another time, next time i wont be so jittery with nervousness/excitement and maybe i'll do better? it was ALOT of fun even though i only got 2 passes in...but how are those times for my car?

thanks guys. someone told me that for every .1 you cut outta your 60ft that (roughly) brings your 1/4 et down about .2? is this true? cause on my second run i had a 60 of 2.0, would my 1/4 have been down in the high 13s had i not missed my shift?

How much is it to get in there and about how long were the waits? I would like to try and hit that track up in the fall when I bring my car out to school but not if the test n tune nights have long lines of 10 sec cars.

ehhh yeah the lines were pretty long. they were letting all the nhra dragsters and alot of bikes go (which i understand...i mean let the guys who are serious go before you let a minivan run down the track) and then they'd let a group of street cars run down. i got there around 1 or so and watched for awhile before i got inline. i made my first run at 3:51 and my 2nd at 4:48...so about an hour of waiting for just one run. i dunno if they are having another TnT night or not? they had waaaaaay more people then they expected
