Cool First time at the Drag Strip need some help and information

I took my Stock JDM GSR IX to Sanata Pod drag strip yesterday. It was my first time on a "drag strip" and unfortunatly i only got one run........but that run had me grinning ear to ear and now i cant wait to go back for some more drag action once i've done a few mods.

There was a strong head wind, and against my friend in his 360 bhp R33 GTR Skyline i ran

2.0148.....60ft
5.7908.....330ft
8.999.......1/8 ET
77.04.......1/8 MPH
11.7318...1000' ET
14.1890...1/4 ET
94.31........1/4 MPH

Can any one tell me how to translate this information and help point areas where i can improve on next time i visit the strip?

My friends skyline posted a best time of 13.9 but most of his runs were around 14.1 sec mark so consdiering my car is down on power by 80bhp i was pretty happy with my run. In comparison a EVO 8 WIth Decat and remap ran a 14.04 at 100.21 mph...

Get that 60ft down and you will be beating the R33 easy.

i'll work on the 60ft time, i do not use a 2 step but am considering having it activated when i get the car remapped.

What sort of 60ft times are typical for these cars?

If you drop the 60' to even a 1.80 it will go 13.5 at least if not faster. shift a little faster too......Don't worry about the reaction time your time doesn't start until you move I usually sit for a second or 2 while the light is green. Bottom line don't go until your ready!
