My 1st track day

My 1st track day
Back on the east coast after moving from Socal.
Well today was pretty interesting I felt like a complete noob at the track.
I went to the strip today not prepared due to being told last minute.
1. Almost full tank of gas.
2. extra weight in the trunk (spare, jack) I couldn't leave it anywhere.
3. the track is made for the 1/8th, but runs the 1/4 on thursdays so my 2nd run I was letting off way early. The 1st run I spun off the line due to not getting the dirt off the stock tires with a small burnout and letting off early.
The time boards were a little after the 1/8th. I'm used to Socal when the time boards is the finish. The track used a cone to mark the 1/4 so I was letting off a little after 1/8.
I think I did okay considering I knew nothing about the track. My runs are from best to worst. The best run was against a utec tuned z on 295 Drs with 3.9 gears. I think he had more because he didn't want to tell his mods for some reason.
Man do I miss being FI.
The tire pressure gauge i borrowed was off so I still had over 30psi in my tires.
Well at least my 60fts were good on stock tires.
I was #1 and for the Socal guys there was no tech just pay and race!!
I'll be ready next time sorry for all the excuses I know I could of done better.

I know of one time a guy put weights on the front of his busa to keep the front end down. He wrecked due to the weights moving side to side going down the track.
