Sorry Hicks I'd already posted on the other thread "Wednesday Night Drags". Well for my first go it wasn't too bad but my launch is embarrassing, even V8's took off harder than me, so there's plenty of room for improvement and enough horsepower to get the mid-13's, I'll be there next Wednesday, hope you can make it with your new clutch Hicks.

Best time 13.9, best top speed 170km/hr, best 60' 2.3 (which is shit) and we wont even discuss my reaction time, I must have been asleep on some runs.

But it was great fun and I'm hanging out to improve my times.

When are you launching?

You should be taking off as the last yellow illuminates.

Sorry if I'm explaining the obvious:)

Cheers

[Hicks]

nah, second last works for me.

[Hicks]

You've got a pretty nice terminal speed though, your just loosing it at the start. But 2.3 60ft isn't that bad, my first 13.8 i had a speed of 2.1, but my 13.7 was a 2.3. And that was during the day!! I think that the track was really grippy though due to the heat.

Yeah, everyone keeps telling me, but when I get the stage lights I'm too busy trying to get my revs right that by the time I look up I see it's turned green, then I nail it and loose traction. I think towards the end I was starting to feel more comfortable, it was also cooler, and beginning to get my shit together.

It certainly doesn't look hard as a spectator, but driving is a bit more difficult. I think next week I'll be better prepared and my times should drop, with luck.

Thanks for the tips though.

Dude, you need launch control - can wolf 3d provide that ?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Steve,

I don't think Wolf has launch control planned, but they are bringing out a firmware update for Anti-lag, so I think the Autronic SM2 is the only one I know with launch control. I have traction control on my car, but I leave this disabled as you end up going slower.

I don't think I need the launch control, I just need more practice. I was also getting alot of diff bounce, so I will try the pineapples to see if that can improve the launch.

yeah, it looks easy as a spectator. The first time

i went and watched I thought the cars gettin mid 13's were slow, how wrong I was.
