rear tire preasure makes a big difference. take them down to 26.5 LBs. and remember to fill them up when you go home. Do you have a good helmet ?

very important

be safe and take your time
Once you launch and floor it do not lift your foot of the acelerator, keepit floored even when you change gears. Shift at 7000 to 7100 rpm and you will not hit the limiter.
Do not lift till you go throught the 2nd trap line at the finish line.
Use the MM its way faster than using "D"

13.3 to 13.4 is a good time for you on your first time.
It takes a while to go faster.

Have fun , do not worry what is beside you in the next lane, be save and come home with your car intact
