First time at the track with GTO

So I've been wanting to run the GTO since I bought it over 2 months ago.. I finally decided to go. I usually raced at Atco(when I had my z28) but they had bracket racing Saturday so I went to Cecil County Dragway in Maryland. I made 8 passes (hot lapped), here are my times..(First stick shift at the track for me go easy!)

First pass:
R/T .417
60' 2.266
1/8 9.350 @ 78.01 MPH
1000 12.039
1/4 14.368 @ 95.83 MPH

2nd Pass:
R/T .326
60' 2.222
1/8 9.302 @ 78.57 MPH
1000 11.977
1/4 14.235 @ 100.31 MPH

Best Pass: (spun a tad/wheel hopped/then bogged)
R/T .440
60' 1.998
1/8 8.867 @ 80.32 MPH
1000 11.491
1/4 13.700 @ 102.52 MPH

I wasn't going for a good reaction time with any passes I made. Just concentrating on getting the car to launch decently. I know the car has more in it but I ran out of time to run anymore passes. I have drag bags to install and I want to get some 275 Mickey T's on my spare set of rims. I'm hoping for a 12 second pass when I get those done. The only thing I had trouble with was figuring out the best way to launch the car with minimal tire spin and no bog. I am just weary of slipping the clutch too much I guess lol..
