FIRST times to the track are often FULL of let down. People simply aren't as good at competitive based driving as they would seem to think (or have been built up to believe).

Simply driving on a road and rowing through the gears "quickly" doesn't mean that you are "great" at driving that car. The tested times often (if not always) reflect PROFESSIONAL drivers. Those that do nothing OTHER than drive a car to its limits.

Most people buy a car and see that it CAN do the 1/4 in 15.2 (14.9, etc) and belive that means by starting in 1st and going through 4th you will make the car do the same. There is a LARGE difference in YOU doing it, and the car being CAPABLE of it.

Take what you DID and work on it. Get those 60ft times down. ignore your reaction times, they don't affect your ET. Practice.. with it, you will be cranking out some respectable times, VERY SOON.
