Victor Jr.'s (disappointing) day at the races



First of all, believe it or not, I had never officially drag raced before today.

Vic Jr.'s best was 15.292@89.95.  R/T was .619 (how good/bad is that?  It was pretty consistent
after my first few runs).

Had the autox rubber on (way out of balance).  Engine is stock 2.0L 16V, Megasquirt FI.  Ignition
is stock VW 16V knock box.  Tranny is the widest ratio 4-speed with a Quaife.  I burned rubber
through first gear ridiculously the first few runs.  

I never got out of 3rd.  Trap speed was ~90 mph all day, seems to be 3rd gear's termnial velocity.

Sooo...good?  bad?  so-so?  I'm mildly disappointed, I wanted 14's.

LMK your thoughts...
