    I remember my first time. My left leg was jerking on the clutch pedal while I was staging! I don't know why I was nervous. I 'll guess 15.60's on the first one but it will get better with practice. Have fun!(y)

    I did the same thing a few months ago. Funny thing was that I only went about 10 feet and still won the race!!! I actually won $25.00 that night!!! :D
    Oh...the other car broke out. He didn't realize I was still sitting at the starting line. :rofl2:
