Default 1/4 mile results inside

So I finally got my Z to the track last night and had a great time for my first time ever hitting up a dragstrip. I was very happy to find that it was an incredibly slow night so I didn't embarrass myself in front of a bunch of people.

Anyway here are my results typed, followed by a pic of slips.

1st run (in my life at a track), 2nd, 3rd (Paused after red-lighting), 4th.

Problems:

Runs 2 & 3: Noob move and couldn't hold my left foot on the brake while bringing up the revs (which car limited me to 1500 while braking), red lighted each time.

ALL runs: I COULD NOT EFFING DO A BURNOUT!!!! I had VDC off and it would just limit my rpm's. Anyone know what to do about this?? It's embarrassing not burrning a little rubber.

Vids coming via youtube tonight, will edit in when complete.

Run1:

YouTube - 1st run 13 4

Run3:

YouTube - 3rd run, red light, paused, 14.7

Run4: Fastest run, yet my good camera ran out of space so cell phone footage is all I have. You can hear one of my lady friends say 13.3 Wooooo!.

YouTube - 4th run 13.3

Car and strategy details:

2009 370Z Base model w/ Sport Package & 7 speed auto w/paddle shifters. Best run: Held brake and had gas pedal to the floor (car would only allow 1500 or so rpms) let off brake at light, shifted as close to redline as I could. Again no burn outs because my car would not allow it even with VDC Off.
