Advice 1/4 mile

I did 3 passes.
First one was 18+.
My excuse(s).......I'd only owned the car about 27 hours. I scrambled in the box to get my helmet on.....1st time IN a cage with a helmet, and it threw me off. I was also spinning the rears for more than half track (M7). I didn't have a clue wtf was going on.
Next one (in the video) was either 11.36 or 11.56.
I get nervous every time I do my first race of the season. Those are very good times for a C7.

It's a Z06/Z07.
I'm supposed to pick up another bike tomorrow or friday.....it's going to the track friday night, if I get it on time.
Here's my lifetime fastest pass.....10.25.....only hours after buying the bike (2009 hayabusa)

 
Article on carscoop says the same thing but I cannot find , a way to share. I am not that good on computers. Article was printed on 30/12/2022. Up to now , these prints, do not mention years but say very soon. Will keep searching.
They are all clickbait sites. Wait until it's announced at a Bash or Carlailles or somewhere where GM biggies go.
 
Personally, I cannot imagine taking my car onto any track.
I would be mortified if I ever damaged it, warranty coverage or not.
I've worked damn hard to be in a position where I can afford one of these - I'm not going to mess it up by pushing it to the 'extremes'.
I will be that guy in the E-Ray that you pull up beside at the lights, revving your engine a few times, and leaving in your rear view mirror.
To make matters worse, I will probably switch it to stealth mode, just so I too can enjoy the sounds and smells of your performance and spent rubber.
If that 'need for speed' gets too overwhelming, I'll rent something exotic on my next Vegas trip.
Drag racing is about the easiest thing on a car. There is more risk in the parking lot than at a drag strip. I never bothered warming my tires. I'd just go to have fun. The most fun you can have with your clothes on!
