Wednesday Night Drag @ Infineon Raceway Best time 15.009 @ 92 mph

Went out to the Infineon Raceway today to see what the best time I could get for my stock RX-8. My first practice run was horrible, I messed up on the launch and bogged out at the beginning and ran a 15.814.

My second run, I didnt have enough time to maintain my RPM at 5000 for my launch and ended up spinning my tires out, so I let go of the pedal all the way and stepped back on it as quick as I can to regain traction. Ran a 15.311, trap speed at 90mph.
My third practice run was the best, I deflated my tires to 25psi, got a decent reaction time, good traction and ran a 15.009 with trap speed of 92mph. So for my elimination round I dialed in at 14.89 and thought I could run close to it.

Elimination round was my fourth run, and was horrible as I got a slower reaction time and missed third gear. Ran a 15.3 @ 91 mph.
