Default H/C 1st runs at the track

2.20 60
12.42 1/4
114.89 mph

I babied her hard off the line on my 2 runs after blowing the first rear 3 weeks ago. 1st run I kinda just went off idle really to a 2.28 60, and then slipped it hard from 4000 rpm to the 2.20. I was happy with the mph for the fat turd she is.

Anyone have track time launching advice that's easy on the rear lol

Nice! As far as advice goes, I launch just like you do to save the rear for 2.1-2.2 60's every time. I put 10-12 runs on the my first rear w/o breaking it using this method. I upgraded to the latest GM rear just for security.

Not bad for your first time. Should have more in her for sure. More seat time will help!
