First time at the track

So I finally made it out to the track tonight for the first time and my fastest time in the 1/8 mile was a 10.70 in a 2009 Cobalt 2.2. All I have done to it is an intake. I am content with that time... for now. I hope to have full exhaust done soon. ZZP longtube headers, GMPP catback exhaust. When all that happens and I get new tires I hope to be running in the very low 10's. Then it will be time for boost

Why does everyone call it a track when it's a strip? Drag strip not drag track.

lol, Tone is extremely hard to convey through text. If I'm perceived as arrogant that's a misinterpretation on the receiving end.

Problem?

Not really, I actually got excited about reading someone going to the Track(road racing) cause CSS.net is all about straight line and or street racing.
