Dragstrip Times for V-6 5 Spd

I recently ran my Dak at the Street Legal Drags at the Pomona Raceway.
This was my first experience at a 'legal' dragstrip, so my reaction times were terrible.
My Dak (V-6 Reg. cab, shortbed, 3.21 axle, AX-15 5 spd) ran a 17.03 on the first pass.
I know I could have run in the 16's if I wouldn't have missed the 2-3 shift. The temperature was also fairly warm on the first pass ~85 degrees. My second pass was
excellent.....great launch....but I ran a half second slower. It warmed up at least 20 degrees from my first run to the second, probably accounting for the decrease in time.
With a little more practice, a short throw shifter, and better tires, I should improve.
