Going to the track tomorrow for the first time! Hoping to break into low 14s for my first time, nothing extreme. Probably going to put on my t/b tonight and if I can get the idle kinks worked out leaving it on there for the track tomorrrow, should be gorgeous out just hot as fuckkkkkk. Since its my first time what kind of advice can you guys give me? I'll be sure to update with time slips afterwards!

my first passes i walked it out of the hole and built up familiarity as track handles a little different. only made 2 passes in mustang years ago and 1 in camaro last year so not any real experience under my belt either. have not had time for more than that. :sad5:

Yeah, i'd have slips if i ended up going =\ birthday festivities lasted a big long Friday night, then I couldn't convince my dad to let me go on my birthday because it was my first time and he was worried that i'd wreck my car or put it into a wall soooo I didn't end up going. Hopefully i'll go within the next few weeks though

Oouch, well my dad was kinda cool about it after his initial flip out objection and was saying well if you really wanna go we'll do it the right way and instead of driving an hour out there in your car we'll tow and bring tools to fix shit if it breaks so we'll see how that turns out.
