First Passes on motor with the new car Well me, carly and chef went to lebanon last night to run the car. I didnt really want to run it do to the da being 3000ft but I have to run the car and get used to shifting and using my hand cotrols. This is the first car that I have to shift plus steer, and use the gas with my hands..
The track had shitty prep do to the light rain and the street night. So the first pass I came off the foot I mean hand brake. here is the pass.
60ft 1.688
300 4.82
1/8 7.451 93.69mph
1000 9.71
1/4 11.628
mph 118.97
I tried on the second pass to bring the rpm up to like 3500 but it broke loose do to track prep. But I will say this, the car loved leaving in the higher r's. I thought that for a first pass and considering I have never shifted a car I was happy. IT poured after my second attempt so we loaded it up. I will be going back tot he track soon and try footbraking it higher then Ill use the transbrake. Then i can tune the suspension.
