My first time at the track... tell me what you think

[herostar]

Hello all. Today I went to the track for the first time. I started out running 9.4's (1/8th mile track) with 2.4 60ft times. I wasn't slipping the clutch well and sort of jump/boging the launch. I made it to the finals because of the bracket racing, and in the finals I red lit and broke out! What a way to end... I red lit by .031, but the cool part is that I broke out by half a second. I slipped the clutch really good on my last run and pulled a 2.0 60ft and a 8.9 in the 1/8th at about 78 mph. This made me the first non-honda (engine swapped honda, at that) sport compact to run in the 8's at my local track... Did I mention I was on 93 octane? I ran about 17~18 psi with my full interior minus the spare tire. *timeslip in my gallery*

it was about 90* F track temp with 80% humidity at about 3300 ft

anyone have any idea what that would be in the 1/4?

I use a multiplier of 1.56 for street cars running between 11-15 second quarter times. Seems to be fairly accurate. Using that formula you wouldn've ran a 13.88.
