And judging from my first pass being a 12.04 (this is an 1/8th mile track), I need to work on my driving ability a bit. I launched from 2500RPM and spun through first, second and half of third.

By the end of the day, I knocked it down to a 9.62 @ 74mph. I was using the clutch the whole time, and I launched from an idle since I was on street tires. I've got 0 engine mods, so I'm pretty pleased, I guess.

Exciting to run a 5spd down the track for the first time, though!
