Message First time ever. Had a blast, was such a good time. I was so friggin nervous for my first run. I didnt even have it in gear when the green light lit up :)

Spun the hell of it all the way through 1st, second and third all the way till I hit the rev limiter. Could feel the tyres skipping under me the whole way. The guy I was racing first got way ahead of me at the start, but as soon as I was on boost I reeled him in so quickly.

First run was 14.094 at 107.27mph. 60' 2.655.

Second run I wasnt as nervous. I had the revs up to about 4,000rpm when I dropped the clutch (actually rode it out a bit). Spun so badly, when I hit second it started to fishtail so I backed off completely then floored it again. SO a bit slower. 14.682 at 104.04mph. 60' 2.973.

I promised a friend a go, he drives a lot better than I do :)
1st run 12.623 @ 121.95 mph. 60' 2.270.
2nd run 12.547 @ 101.23 mph. 60' 2.145
3rd run with antilag 12.784 @ 121.62mph. 60' 2.460. This run he actually completely missed 4th (clutch hydraulic problem) so coasted it in at the end.

These are on my normal everyday street tyres, some pirelli supersports.

Had awesome fun. Really makes you appreciate what it takes to drive a good 1/4 mile though. Everything happens so damn fast.
