First time at San Antonio Raceway

Had a great time with a bud of mine with a GTO last friday. Cut a relatively awful 14.8 second time, but felt better when he said his first time out he couldn't get out of the 15s with his 420hp GTO (mine is stock).
First run was the best at 14.8, left traction control on and just released the clutch and hit the gas.
Runs 2 and 3 I red lighted so they dont really count. And on the last run vs. a SRT-10 Ram I remembered to leave the traction control off, but my method of dump and go resulted in a stall since the engine wasn't fighting the clutch ^_^.
I figure if I can work on launches (I have never hard launched a stick before this) and get better tires (these 245 all-seasons SUCK for the quarter) I should hit 13s. I can shift very well in this car down the stretch without worrying about worrying about breaking things.
