Always 'dump the clutch'.

Feed the throttle as you take off. I start from 3500rpm and have the throttle squeezed to 3/4 by the time the clutch has engaged and within the moment of moving off the line I have full throttle (bout 1/2 second).

I did bunch of 13.5's to go with my 13.4 last time and all around 2.1 60ft.

Hmmm

Drag Wars was my first ever effort down the quarter so I suppose it wasnt too bad... My best time of the night which I got a couple of times was 14.1 at about 165k's .... I would have liked to have broken the 13's but I think that a bit of practise is required to do that.... I.E more driver error than car can't perform...

All in all not a bad night....

I never got to see the C-Red car as everytime it run I was drving back to the staging area.... :P

Ok.... My fastest run of the night had these stats :)

Time: 14.108

Top Speed: 165.5 kph

Reaction Time: 1.2 Secs ( later in the night got this down to about 0.6 secs )

60' - 2.35 sec

330' - 6.2

660' - 9.29 sec at 129.93 kph

1000' 11.90

Thanks

Brett

Yeah I think if I get everything right in the one run I should crack the 13's.... I think my problem was trying to get evertything together.... For example one Time I would launch bad but really pickup well from 2 onwards then the next run I would launch really well and then slightly miss a gear or something like that...

I guess that all comes with practise though.... :)
