yeah, nearly got them off the ground. 🙂
clutch was out of adjust, and grabbing.
So it was creeping forwards.
On my 2nd run, I rolled off the stage.
cos it was creeping, I had to hold my foot on the brake instead if the gas.
so I was launching at about 1000rpm instead of about 3500rpm.
makes for a slow exit out of the gates, and a slow 60 foot time.
hopefully get that sorted this week.
there's another meet on the 5th feb, and the 4's and 6's shootout soon.

Well done Dan,
As you are going out again, I gather it you had a good time.
It's nice being able to go for it, without having to lift the right foot at the 100kph mark.
That is a great time for what is basically a brick with wheels. Well done again.

definately going out again. I want to run a 15. even a 15.99 would be good.
yes, it's NA, but now thinking about forced induction.
I don't have a scanner, maybe I can take a photo of the slip and post that?.

What happened to make the car slow down in the second 1/2 track? You crossed the line 3mph slower than you were going 1/2 track. Was it the clutch you mentioned or something else?

not sure.
maybe the 4th is too tall.
I can't hold it in 3rd, cos it just bounces off the limiter.
when I shift to 4th, it drops back to about 2500 rpm.
great highway cruising gear, maybe too bigger gap between ratios for racing?

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.

the second link works.
thanks for hosting that.
now I just gotta control that wheelspin, and maybe launch with more revs, I should be able to pull a 15.

Nice Dan.
It launches very well looking at that.
Fax your slip through and get on the list.
A set of sticky tires will help you get quite quick.

hey James, it isn't aircooled though, so it doesn't qualify.

love it, hopefully launching a bit harder will get the front wheels up more.
yeah, gets a bit of wheelspin. street tyres though.
