Default What should my friend expect at the track?

ok I know how stupid this is
but my friend just bought an S2K about 3 months ago

hes been driving stick maybe 2 years tops

he wants to go to the track and is expecting to run a 14 flat in his car stock
now I told that wont happen unless he really gets on the car and is an excellent driver(hes good but not that good)

he goes to me well I aint going to the track to beat the shit out of my car to get a fancy time slip
so I said dude no offense but then dont go, cause you really need to beat the shit out of the cars to get some good times out of them

am I wrong?

also what you think he should run or atleast what the average driver pulls?

are you talking a road course or a drag strip.

I'm finding alot of people refer to the dragstrip as the "track". It throws me off everytime.

Better start practicing that launch technique now. And I hope the weather is favorable that night. Some people just don't think about all the differen't variables that affect your timeslip at the track.
