I didnt do so hot. 
My first time out and I spun out like a **** leaving the staging area.
No traction. Also I cant smoke tires worth a ****.
Ernie, you gotta give me some pointers man.
Thanks for helping me stage.
I did have fun and i will be back.
I have a new fouind respect for drag racing.
Getting the car to not spin out is harder than I thought.
Did anyone see the car hit the wall?
I left right after my run.
Oh I ran a 13.2 @115
I cut a sweet *** 2.37 60ft.

115 mph is a low 12
My car can do an 11 sec pass. I have no doubt in my mind.
But it is going to be hard for me to learn how to make that happen.

It took me a few nights to really get the hang of drag racing. All it is is practice.
Did you do what i told you for a burnout? Just dump the clutch, and hit the brakes hard with your left foot and you will not go anywhere.

Honestly Bobby you were about the last thing on my mind.
There was a pretty big crowd and I just did what came to my head.
Ernie lined me up and told me to "heel to toe it". I looked at him like "huh" LOL. He was looking at me like "what a dumbass"
I floored it and just burned out. Then when I launched I floored it again and just spun out all through 1st gear almost. It was pretty sad.

I wasnt nervous of drivin. I was scared that I was going to do something wrong and hold up the line.
Noone tells you what your supposed to do. I had to guess wtf i was supposed to be doing. I am amazed that they let any Tom, Dick or Harry on that track without any form of instructions or rules that they go over with you prior to racing. For guys like me who never raced before it is nerve racking.
Thank god Ernie showed up and kind of point me in the right direction.

So you didn't do the John Force burnout?
For the burnout, pull past the water, rev, drop clutch, get it spinning and get on the brakes so it moves slowly foward.
You gotta launch it easy. Try like 4-5000rpm and slip the clutch Or put on ET streets and just ******* sidestep the clutch at 7000 rpm and hang on.
