2006 - My first year in revue
I was so excited my first time. I was so nervous that I decided that I would just have fun with it. I had practiced street launches many times before, so I prepared to do something like that. I tried to keep the RPM's a hair below 3000, but I was so anxious that my leg was shaking and the tach was all over the place. My buddy told me not to worry about my reaction time, so I didn't. I sat there for a second, swallowed, and then I went for it. I wish I knew exactly what RPM I launched at, because it felt perfect.
Right lane - 242 https://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c...tang/slip1.jpg BTW - I had a HKS intake, a Nismo clutch, and RS*R springs. Strangely enough, my first run was my best run ever. I never beat it all season. I had a lot of problems finding the right RPM to launch at. I either bogged or spun tires. After trying the brake fuse trick, I was able to get a little more consistency. The closest I came, was my second to last run of the year. It felt good, but there was a slight bog on the launch. BTW - I now had a new Nismo clutch, Nismo flywheel, and Cusco Zero-2 coil-overs. Left lane - 12 https://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c...tang/slip2.jpg Anyway, I hope maybe some of you more experienced guys could give me some pointers. Heck, maybe we could get together some time at Cecil County! |

tany009 - I had the helmet ready all season! LOL
davidv - I'm not sure that I can get that 60-foot time down much more without dropping weight or slicks. I'm going to try and make it out more this year. What color is your car? |
Right now, I need to concentrate on my launches. I'm curious how suspension adjustments and tire pressure can affect traction. I was away on business last summer, so I didn't get a lot of time in. Also, every time I went, someone blew oil down the track and I'd have to wait two hours for clean-up.
