Default First time at the track...1/4 times

Well I fanally took my car to the track yesterday, after going to a H-T meet in Sedona. The meet in Sedona was fun it was a pretty big turn out lot of nice cars. After the meet a few of us from Flag. went down to Firebird Raceway for SCO night. It was a lot of fun! Mt first run I was pretty nervous, so I just dumped the clutch and didn't even pay attetion, to see what RPM's I launched at. My second I was paying to much attention to my RPM's that I ended up getting a bad R/T. I think I was finally starting to get it by my third try. What do you guys think of my times? Any suggestions, my mods are in my sig. and I was running on Falken Azenis.
Thanks

u should be running low 15's for sure with those mods. ur 2.5 60 ft's are terrible. With around 25psi in the Azenis u should be able to pull at least a low 2.2 or even a 2.1.

how do u launch? 4000rpm drop and go WOT?

all i can say is more practice will bring those times down alot.

Yeah I know that I really need to work on my 60. At first I was just dumping the clutch at like 5k, in the end I was trying to feather the clutch out at about 4k. Anything else I should try on my launch?

Thanks, my R/T on the last one was when I was up against my buddy and his 5th gen. lude. It definately made me want to get a good launch to beat him.(he still won by .2 sec.)
