The strangest things first time at the track

Well, the very first time I drag raced ona track, I realized belted in my car, waiting for the water box, that my glasses wouldnt fit on my head with the helmet I had... I did the burnout, staged, and ran it... But i couldnt tell where the end of the measured quater was. I was paired with a 10 second car... by the time I felt my way down to the turnoff, he was almost back in the pits...lol.
