Default First time at the track (1/8)...any good?

A buddy of mine wanted to go to the track the other night and race his s10. I went with him and made a couple passes with the Silverado. Do these sound about right? The passes were made at 95* and around 65% humidity and a track altitude of 420ft.

The truck is a RCLB 4x4 with a 5.3 and auto with 3.73s w/g80 and 265 75 16 a/t tires. Mods are Magnaflow exhaust and a W4M tune.

Run 1 R/T--.0669 60Ft--2.5501 1/8 ET--10.4979@68.70
Run 2 R/T--.0440 60Ft--2.4320 1/8 ET--10.4130@68.60

On run 2 I raced my buddy's s-10 which went 10.16, but due to his reaction I crossed the line first.
Oh...I also wondered this. He ran a 10.16 and I ran a 10.413, but I trapped a full MPH faster than him. I guess its in the 60ft right. On run1 I stalled it to about 1200 rpm and it spun. On run2 I didn't stall at all. I just let of the brake and floored it with no spin.

Those seem a little high to me...my numbers are in my sig and it is with those heavy *** 20's and 3.42 gear. I am guessing our weight is within a couple hundred pounds.

In my other race I raced a totally stock 2001 ext cab, short bed silverado. It was a 2wd with a 5.3, 3.42s, and stock tires. He ran 10.84@65.88 with a 2.54 60'. I beat his ET by almost 4 tenths.

Sounds about right considering it's a 4x4, your tall tires and weather conditions.
