Default Took my S to the 1/4 for the first time

Kinda dissappointed really.. Intake and exhaust, best run I could pull was a 14.4@98 granted the track was extremely slick for some reason. Couldnt hook for nothing, spun in 2nd every run. I was hoping for a 14 flat but it seems my just doesnt have the umph. I dont drag it, I just wanted to see what it would run
60ft- 2.1
1/4- 14.4
mph- 98.12

anything i can do better? please criticize
First run I spun like crazy off the line and ran a 14.8
Second run, was my best time of the night..

me vs my buddy andy

to many factors,the first time i went to the track i also ran a 14.4 and i was upset,then i did a track rental day with my dad and his friend.after about 15 runs i ran my fastest pass 13.7@100.thats the thing i hate about the track you have to wait so long between runs.

How will you feather the clutch and not smoke it? Numerous accounts of clutch slip and then no clutch for a minute or so.
