13.9 sounds spot on to me. Try launching a few different ways and see what works best for you.

Really depends on elevation, weather, track prep, etc. Only way to know is to go out and practice. Good luck and post numbers!

First time at the track and first time launching from a dig? ...nerves and adrenaline are going to be through the roof. I'm going to predict a missed gear and 14.8 (at least on first run).

Odd going to the track for the first time and no more communication from him. Hope he didn't die or is in a hospital.
