Ok, so I only managed to get 3 runs in, partly because I got there late, and because somebody in a Scirocco left his transmission and all it's oil on the track.

First run, I missed the green and had almost a 2 second reaction time, the stupid tree had 3 yellow lights I thought would light up individually, instead they all flashed once and then it went green right away, so horrible launch, horrible reaction time=16.397@87.89MPH.

Second run, better start, but missed second, twice, somehow? laf, 17.417@87.33MPH.

Third run, slow reaction time, not a great launch, 15.969@88.27MPH.

Now, if I couldve gotten a cpl more runs I know i couldve improved on that, better reaction time and a better launch I could easily drop that by a half second, if I took out the spare/jack/sub and ran on a 1/4 tank of gas I could be in the low 15's maybe. Only mod is CAI.

your 60 footer is what's killing you. That's where our cars rock, and you only got in the 2.4's as soon as you can improve those and get them into the 2.1's and 2.2's you'll be running around the same as me. 15.031 is still my best as of now but I haven't tracked the car since then because I'm looking to get the piggyback before returning to the track. 15.6 was my worst time ever. Just get used to driving the car and you'll get better. Nice to see others going to the track finally.

Nice job for watching a Pro Tree go green! Keep practicing and you'll get into the 15's pretty good!
