1/8 8.714
MPH 80.46
1000 11.439
1/413.727
MPH 100.64

How did I do and what to I need to work on.

The trap seems ok for an 03 and with a 1.7 60 or better, low 13s should be within reach. Not too shabby

Not bad for first time and stock car, your 60' foot could be a little better but that takes practice and it seems your 1-2 shift is a little slow as well by looking at your 5.58 330 but overall not bad for first time out there...

i feel you bro. I took the car to the track for the first time today as well ...Completely Bone stock. I have an 05 Evo VIII. The best time was 14.7. I revved to about 4000 rpm and slipped the clutch out a little. I missed 2nd and 3rd twice out of 6 runs. I need some major practice and help. First time ever racing with a manual car. I too would like to know how to improve 60 ft time, and at what point to shift The 14.7 run, I was shifting around 6500 rpm.

Had a blast. Took a trans am off the line twice but then lost the lead. My first race was against a 11 second Mustang with huge drag radials. Next time I hope to do a lot better with research and practice.

Wow, I didnt know there were any stock '03's left! j/k

Not bad for an '03. What were the race conditions and elevation? Shifting at 6900-7000 is about right for a stock car. Get some better '60's and work on the shifting and some mid-lower 13's are possible. Nice job.

Your launching too low and shifting to low, try launching off the rev limiter and shifting just over 7000RPMs.
