Default 1st time at the track

So I finally decided to take my car to the track.I was waiting on motor mounts or slicks but I couldn't wait any longer.My power mods are exhaust and wastegate.My first run went alright, 13.8 and a 2.4 60ft.Then I took some air out my tires and did a little burnout before running.The board displayed a 13.5 but the ticket said 13.639...dunno wtf happened.I nailed a 2.2 60ft and whooped the car that ran with me.Dude was running a camaro ss and he missed 3rd!!Funny because his first run he ran a 14 something and he said that he spinned too much.But even funnir was the way he talked to me before running.He was by his car with all his friends, hood opened and all that crap.I'm right next to him and he says to me.."..hey man take it easy on me..."I ask him "...why??.." he says.."..because your neon is too much for my v8.." then he bursts up laughing.I kept my cool and smiled back.After I ran he wouldn't even look at me.So went up to him and asked him if he was WOT shifting, he asked me "..wtf is that?." so I showed him and told him to give it a try.I think he learned his lesson.Well it was a good night, I'm sure if I would've ran a few more times I would've gotten a better time.Well just sharing my excitement with you guys a girls...I guess psichick was right, she said that it was gonna be hard to nail a 13.5 but it was possible.thanks

That must have felt good. I'd love to stick it to my friend with his Mustang. He keeps messing with me and my car. I just look at him and dont say nothing. We gon race this summer at a track and I'll let the car do the talking. Anyway, way to go on the run!
