Default What do you think of this launch?

Got a nice slow motion video of one of my launches. It appears I might need a shock adjustment as the car bounces off the line causing a 1.54 short time in this video vs. a 1.44 best and more of a 1.49 average.

Your back tires have good bite and good wrinkle in the side wall, I would just adjust the rebound on the front shocks if you can.

Not rebound in the rear as well? That's clicks to the right correct?

I am looking at your clearance in the wheel well in the rear vs the front and it looks to me like you need to work the front. It looks like it is jumping.
