Default Beat the Heat!

Our local track had "Beat the Heat" races with the cops. This video was me, all I won, was a T-shirt. Oh well, it was fun.

I launched on the 6000rpm limiter, I had the gas pedal floored until I eased the clutch out. It's the best way not to break anything. Also, you should never have VDC on at the track, it will slow you way down.

ya, i figured VDC would just cut ur gas when it sensed wheel spin, but it seemed like that in the vid. prolly just caught traction or something.

It looks worse than what it is. The car bogs a little but not much, those launches are at 6000rpms!.

Maybe put a little more pressure in the tires or slip the clutch more
