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? |

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.

yeah, gets a bit of wheelspin. street tyres though. |
