Alright, these are the first track times ive ever had with any car.

It was fun as hell!

Definitely going to go back after a few more performance mods.

How did I do?

My number was 716 (buddys number was 694)

(race 1 on left, 5th run on the right)

Really good time considering you don't have much power adders. Damn MTX

Your 60' time on that last run was impressive for your first time at a track.

drop the weight and go again! what did u launch at on your 1st run? clutch drops are like cutting the head off of a chicken if done over 3500

Justin,

Good runs,get more practice under your belt.

GeneralPatton6 · 09-30-2008, 11:27 PM

Thanks guys

I did a bit more research on it all

few things i can do better :

less gas in the tank ( i think i still had too much)

higher rpm on the first shift to second

and

ok well, i really dont get what a clutch drop is?

Definatelly less gas, check tire pressure, remove spare, any xtra weight, turn dcs off, and careful how high you rev the rpm's up on launch, dont wanna spin thru 1st.

Really good times man!!

You've also gutted half your car...

GeneralPatton6 · 10-01-2008, 07:24 PM

ok still trying to perfect my launch...i think i have the rest of the shifting down (just need practice...)

whats the best way to launch? i wasnt doing too bad with the way i was doing it but maybe there is better?
