Im surprised not a single person has mentioned that your RT means precisely squat in your final time...

Looks like your launch is a LITTLE slow (although, not horrible), and you just arent shifting your gears too fast. Im assuming this is a stick...

just keep in mind that reaction time has no effect on your ending 1/4 time or your trap speed. It's a common mis-conception that people think a faster reaction means faster times. The clock does not start until your tire passes the laser. So if you wanted the light could go green and you could sit there for 5min and then go with no penalty on your time. The reaction time is the time from the green light to the time your tire crosses the first laser and that is it. It's not reflected on your 1/4 mile time. Next time focus more on your launch and less on your reaction time. Drown out the crowd, the car next to you, and the light. Take your time, focus, breath, and then go.

Let your air presure down to 29 psig . It will help with your 60 ft times. Did you take out the spare tire and the tools and all the back and front floor mats. How muck gas was in your tank.? 1/4 tank is all you need.

I had about a little over 1/2 a tank and no I didnt take anything out of the rear.

yes this was with a MT. I wouldn't say my shifting was slow, but I cant argue either as I'm the one having slow times :p
