I like 4, 5, and 6, but I won't recommend that to you since my flywheel didn't like it.

Alright hmm cool just got basically feel out the car right. Well guess i will go one day. The track closest to my house closed down, people said it was the worst track in the nation due to elevation. LACR. Hope i can hit as good a time as u. Summer is coming up so better go before it gets hot!

That's a great time for your first time out. My first night I ran a best of 14.0 with no type of burnout.

How's ATCO hooking up with their new concrete part of the track?

Yeah, I figure the clutch is "cheap" enough that if I wear it out extra often because I'm having fun and getting the most out of my car then its worth it.

And I'm DEFINITELY slipping it and stressing the crap out of the clutch. If I gave up the tricks behind my launch more than I have people would call me crazy

Yeah I was easy on my clutch for the 1st time out. In the GSX I used to launch that high with a huge slip. I replaced the clutch atleast twice a year haha. In the LS1 I'd side step the clutch at 5500-6000 thats a shock. The car would make God awful noises but it hooked!

Congrats!
That is an awesome run especially your first time out.
