First time at the track!

So I got to run on Friday night for the first time. It was so busy I only got two runs in. I completely jacked up the first run and redlight'd. The second run I got:

1/4 ET: 13.35 @ 99.36
1/8 ET: 8.69 @ 85.02
React: .030
60': 2.09
330': 5.74

How is this? My only mods are JRE tune, SOLO HFC, and SOLO Cat-back, running on Nitto Motivos stock size.

Sorry I am a track newb, so I'm not sure what DA is. The time on the slip is 9:09:24 PM on 9/27/13 at Richmond Dragway.
I wonder if I let up too soon. I was having a hard time finding the end of the track.

Here is the time of the guy I was running against, I think he was running an old 70s Seabring.

His Time:
1/8 ET: 8.53 @ 82.21
1/4 ET: 13.31 @ 103.40
React: .1132
60': 1.95
330': 5.53

Mine
1/8 ET: 8.69 @ 85.02
1/4 ET: 13.35 @ 99.36
React: .3049
60': 2.09
330': 5.74

I agree, sounds like you let up early.

Yeah you should trap at least 106-111 in there I would say. Your 1/8, that 85mph, that's on the low side, 88mph or better would be going in the right direction. You could log shift points if you know anyone with the 'ware.

I was just in Richmond, someone told me the track is right next to the airport.

Ya it is right next to the airport. It's not a very good track, pretty minimal, but it gets the job done!

So given I have a L99 with 20K miles SOLO HFC, and SOLO straight pipe cat-back and JRE tune, NO CAI or other mods, what do you figure my ET should be on a good run? I was using sport auto mode.
