eeks you might get flamed for this because everyone runs different times. depends on alot of factors. its like this. you can compare baseball cards of players and see that they have the same stats but one might go 4-4 and the other might go 0-4 in the next game.

Yeah I know i had a chance to be flamed but i was just wanting a rough estimate before i go to the track and see what i should hope for, though it will be my frist time and the track is at a higher elevation where i live in southwest VA. I'm going this coming tuesday and i'm getting all excited.

Expect mid 16's and hope and pray for high 15's.

practice your launch. break torque. lower the psi in your tires too. your auto is gonna run consistent times to so little by little take the air out fo your tires to achieve your best run. ppl are gonna tell you this psi and that psi but your at a higher elevation so externalities change.

haha i wish Lash....ah i know it was a crazy question to ask even before taking it to the track i say being my first time all i'll be seeing is mid 16's just as long as i pull a mid 16 to a low 16 i'll be happy thats all that matters to me its my first time so im' going to make it as fun as possible.

don't lower the tire pressure it is automatic and you will have minimal tire spin, so keep a nice 30 psi in them because if you go any lower it might hurt you so since you have no power it will weigh you down and make you run slower.
Acctually drag you back.
Good luck when you run, I say about 16.5 at best.
