I was having a hell of a time launching and I might do what was suggested above by starting at idle. At least until I get a better feel for launching. I also missed 4th a couple times which explains my awful trap.

On a side not, my buddy ran 10.6 followed by a 10.7 in his supra. He was told he's never allowed back to that track since he has no safety equipment
You lost to #9995. Interesting that you and #9995 had the same dial in. Coincidence?

Yeah, I didn't notice that until later on but it was purely coincedence. I don't even remember what I was running against.

I'm getting drag radials on stock 300ZX rims for next season. Hopefully that will get me at least another tenth.
