As usual, top shots Joe.

It was great to meet your lovely wife. Lucky fellow.

Good turn out from the gang. Gotta get my beast down that 1/4 mile. Looks like a lot of fun........even in a rice burner :b2

Give me corners anyday!

One day I'll learn how to launch this thing!

13.3 on street tires ;mmm

Life time number of passes = 6...

I wish I could launch better too.

I'll be back next time.

Good turnout of cars and members coming down to watch. ;42

sounds like you are struggling to get the grunt to the pavement MR ZEDohSIX;46;46;46

Did a 2.1 60ft, but then spun the rest of the way through 1st and 2nd and the top end of third. I didn't realise it at the time (just got surprised at the quick 1-3 shift) but almost immediately after getting into 2nd was bouncing off the rev limiter again!

NB: this is all on my 220 treadwear street tyres. No drag radials in sight!

My 2 second (instant expert with 6 passes) thoughts are that I've got to launch softer (but harder if you know what I mean) and slow and soften the 1-2 shift. ;40

Ohh, and a bit of skill and a lot of practice would help! ;48

Sounds about right ZEDohSIX (not that I can talk about launches as they are my weak point). While a fraction of wheelspin helps momentum, any reasonable amount will kill your times.

Guess you'll have to go back again. ;46 ;41
