First time at the strip for the Dart, results and what I should do for next time?

getting the car to leave hard (hooking up) is where it's at. Don't smoke the drag radials, as soon as they began to "haze", get off the brakes and back off the gas till it hooks, and you should be in 2nd gear doing this. I bet the MPH will move to 108 and that would move you to lower 12's.
