Yes it dose look bad but you will only get better by practicing.
When I first tested the 175 earlier this year I was in the sixteens on my first run, it came down to a 14,7 after 5 passes.
The next time out I started with a 14.9 and then a 14.4 and finished up with the same as you
a 13.4 at 102mph.
Each time you run make notes so you can refer back to things like weather, temps, humidity, air pressure and relative air density, these things all affect your performance on the day.
Make notes of your rear tyre pressure, are you running into a head wind or did you have a tail wind helping you.
Look on the timing slip for your 60 foot time, this is the only place you will notice a difference relative to your performance.
Once you have past that mark it's all plain sailing, all your other times along the track should be more or less the same, get the first 60 foot right and you're home and dry.
Practice practice practice.
and don't forget any RT beats a red light
