I went to track for my first time and it was so fun. on first run, i ran like mid 17. I was so nervous. I was expected low or mid 15 but i couldn't break 16. here's my 2 best times. someone tell me what am i doing wrong. b/w i got 95 del sol si with i/h/e and pretty much stock.
R/T....0.995.....1.280
60.....2.601.....2.547
330...7.016.....6.942
1/8....10.617...10.584
MPH...68.31.....67.60
1000..13.714...13.715
1/4.....16.326...16.352
MHP....84.19.....83.41
is it my driving? or is it normal?

It's real cheap tires. it says cooper cobra and it came with the car when i bought it from a old man. what do you mean releasing air pressure? tire air pressure?
I saw some people pulling low, mid 15's with d16. how do they do that?

Unceasing Measure
Those 60 foot times are terrible, but they scream "stock tires at stock air pressure" 
. Decent tires and/or lowering tire pressure to 15ish should shave some off 
. Not bad for a D16, don't get discouraged.

r/t time has no effect on your overall times. you may loose against your opponent but thats all.
lower the tire pressure and use stickier tires. what wheel/tire setup and pressure are you running???
defitanly mid 15 sec car

R/T can be improved by leaving on the last yellow instead of the green (depending on the type of tree
)
60' could be improved, like the others said, by lowering your tires' air pressure (I go between 15-20 psi or so) and by launching differently ie. higher RPM, different throttle application.

Re: (NightHawk)

Re: (bearboy80)
2.5 60ft is total horseshit...
deflate your front tires to 20psi, and launch from around 5,000 and see where that gets you...if your 60ft times are around 2.2 or 2.1 thats where you should be
