I do and i don't wish there was a video lol. Its not like i freaked out in the cockpit was just not thinking and the nerves got the best of me. Yeah the stang belonged to a kid who works at the track.. Like big into racing obviously. He had CAI, suspension mods (he stressed that, but didn't tell me exactly), tune, throttle body work i believe, catback and perhaps long tubes but i spoke to ALOT of people so i may be confusing cars at this point. All the but headers I'm sure of. He said he had a best of 12.91 in it.. Pretty damn impressive.

Well if he's got some decent power gains over stock with suspension upgrades and maybe some slicks I could believe that. On a side note I saw my first 2015 mustang today. Gotta say I was underwhelmed.

Happen to me - thinking I'm not going anywhere but my mph are going up...
Oh! Let up off the gas! smoke show in my rear view- did a 16.xx.
Slightly embarrassed but I knew what I did wrong. Excitement and nervous will get you sometimes.

Save your money. You're gonna need it.
Ya right! Damn technology. First time I broke 11's yrs ago when I was a teen I thought i was the sht. Now i put a cam and headers in this camaro and have 11's. Rediculous...

Nerves are something EVERYONE has their first time out. Watch how many other guys with stock tires roll through the water, fail to do a proper burnout, and fail to stage "in the groove".
You're not alone, so HAVE FUN!
