Sorry I missed it. I was on a plane to Charlotte, then off to Boston. Back home Friday.

Race Day

Well I didn't make it into the 14's, but I came very close. I ran a 15.3 and a 15.7. Not too shabby. I truly believe I could have made it into the high 14's. When I was launching, the rear end was bouncing like a mother. I was prolly reving too high. Not much traction either. It started raining and that ended the races. And AL, I have the time slips to show ya. I still had a lot of fun. The car however, I noticed that my sincros are whining. Not terribly loud, just enough to notice. I hope I didn't mess up the trans. And did I mention I hate these BFGoodrich tires. Yeah they just suck.

I really wasn't wishing you any bad luck or anything like that. I just didn't think you would make it into the low 14's. High 14's should be dueable. I think if you put more air in the tires, that should take care of the rear end hopping problem. Launching at about 5K and modulating the wheel spin with the clutch is the way I would handle it. I don't know if the stock clutch would be able to handle it though.

I refer to it. Try saving it in RTF, if you can on your Mac.

That pic is from the first Schaumburg meet, just before everyone showed up and before the arc photo.
