Post 1st time at track with manual.. im happy.

So i went to the track tonite for the first time with the ss(first time with a manual also) and i was hoping i'd do alright..so here it is,.

Run 1

R/t 1.037
60' 2.334
330 6.183
1/8 9.499
mph 74.40
1000 12.341
1/4 14.738
mph 92.91

Not to bad for my first time out.. and i missed 3rd gear

2nd run against New WRX

R/t 1.104
60' 2.267
330 5.948
1/8 9.293
mph 74.29
1000 12.051
1/4 14.342
MPH 99.24

Not bad for my second run either, and i missed 3rd gear alot worse than i did the first time..

Hopefully i'll do better next week.
