I can't imagine why I would be a second slower than what the car is supposed to run bone stock. It was my first time at the track but I don't feel like I'm that bad of a driver...

Here's a vid from that night

I would say it is a combination of factors. My car stock was running a 15.3 for my best time. I have a few things to factor in though. Biggest thing being my lack of experience at the drag strip. Also the track is at roughly 3700 feet above sea level which plays a huge role. I think with more practice you will see better times.
