Default finally got my 11 second pass at SBSO

just came back from the spring break shootout and finnally got my first NA 11second pass. on my frist time trial, i tried to go all out and dumpped the clutch at 6K. eather the car didn't hook or the clutch slipped (which it stock) and gave me a pretty crappy 1.88 60ft. the car felt real good untill 3rd gear were it got stuck for a bit and i had to slam it into 4th to finish the race. then as i let off, it would not come out of 4th. there goes the dam sycro again. i just replaced it with a new one last year. anyways i ended up with a 11.88 at 118. i didnt want to make it any worse but wanted to race so i fooked with the shifter to get it unstuck. after that it was very, very easy to do low 12s granny shifting and came in third in the 12.0 index class. the tranny got worse and worse after every run but at least i still raced. oh well, i am happy with my new times and right now tring to figure out how to get another .5 out of it NA before i get the spray.
