capable of 14.0 stock.
but quoting peak times is a waste of everyones time

in the real world
14.4 would be a good to above average time for an ss/sc

15.2 is definately on the "driver needs work" side of things

what kind of altitude is that track at?

500ft

yeah definately needs some practice. though in truth alot of new drivers run 15s for the first few runs.
nothin to be ashamed of.

and you automatically get big props from me for taking it to the right place.
and doing it safe, and smart.

good stuff.

HAHA you got burnt. First time i went i ran a 15.1. stock i got down to a 14.5, thats after only 5 runs. Anyways, doing the track tommorrow, I plan to run below my 13.9, considering stickier tires and exhaust.
