My car ran a 17.2 at the track, but I pulled some stupid stuff.

I do consistently beat my friend's 16.5 second S-10 though

Well, it was my VERY first time at the track. The first run, I went through the water, didn't burn out, and when I started off the line, I spun all the way into about the middle of 2nd gear (I was too nervous). Also, I unhooked my airbox and I have SD, so there's a sensor in my airbox, so I was getting weird readings. I've Gteched a 16.4...altho most Gtech readings werea round 16.6
