Default first time at the tracks..didnt do to well =/

2002 Honda Accord Sedan 5speed

my best times was

RT: 0.95
I1: 2.64
I2: 7.142
I3: 10.830
MPH(I3): 66.999
I4: 14.046

E.T.: 16.778
MPH: 83.179

this is with a low rev launch..and when i tried different launch points from 2.5k - 3k and 3.5k .. everytime i would bog and stay in the trap zone to long and one time at a high rev i popped out of gear! this is my first time at the tracks, and i just went for fun, i know my car is NOT fast, i went with my friends who have fast cars, and just wanted to join the fun..what are your insights on my poor numbers? my car rated stock is suppose to run 16.1 so i didnt do too bad right? but i do have basic mods like intake and cat back exhaust..my friends say, its my tires/rims, i bought the car used and it came with these huge 18" kyowa racing rims..they say when i get smaller rims and better tires we should go again..what do you guys think?

@honbeer: 1/4 time

@noe_h22accord: thanks for the only one to give me advice..

@ all the rest of the big egos: forums are made to help with advice and input, not sarcasm..i already established that these were poor times, and that i didnt go with planning to win a trophy..i went to have fun..which i did have fun..i only asked if you guys had any insight on my launches and tire/wheel combo..
