we don't have enough info..

yoiu need to tell us the track altitude and the weather conditions.. temp, humidity and baro presure when you ran..

without this info track slips are WORTHLESS.

only thing I can say from that slip is that you need to work on your 60 ft times.

The Track Elevation is 632 feet above sea level but how do i find out the other info?

 

[tomustang]

Displaying the Location would be nice too

Well my times are below which are my best.

mid to high 14's in the 1/4 mile is about right for your car.
I do belive with some better tires you will probably be able
to make better times.Pratice makes perfect!
Welcome Aboard!

Density Altitude = 1236 feet ET MPH
Uncorrected 14.917 @ 92.47
Corrected 14.72 @ 93.7


if you were at sea level on a decent day you would have ran 14.72.. now that number I can compare against other 98 gt's that I have corrected the times for.

not to bad, but I think you need to work on your launch 2.29 60's is killing you. get that to atleast a low 2.1 or better yet a 2.0 and you should run corrected 14.5's

other than that your MPH is a little on the low side. Are you powershifting? slow shifting can cause a low MPH. your only a little off on the MPH so maybe a slow 2-3 upshift.

thanxs for the feedback.....i was hopin w/better 60' times i can improve my et! and yes i was slow shifting and my launches................well i suck at them i dont know really how to slip the clutch so i pretty much drop it then hammer the gas .......my friend caught it on tape and as soon as he emails me it i will post it! so thanx and im glad u guys said that my time is decent for my year and mods and that i didnt totally drive like crap!
