bob, yeah shift lite was on for second or two before traps. i had a feeling that would happen. hit rev limiter and coasted through traps.
thanks durien. no plans to hit the track again. i always break something!

thats a 10 second car anyway you look at it...hitting the rev limiter at about the 1200 foot mark...1.88 60' time on a car trapping 120mph+...either way you look at it that car has some *****...too bad its not setup for drag racing

yeah, launch was crap. takes experimentation with new combo. i'm not deterred. I never used those radials either. i think lower RPM launch and more slipping is required. they don't like being shocked; can't handle it as much as bias ply ET streets. and this clutch definately shocks them; its like on/off switch.

just for comparison, here's my h/c firebird best ET with bias ply ET streets. see 1/8 mph is 4 less than rx7's 1/8 mph (even with 15 mph headwind). firebird on left, rx7 on right (but left lane):

ya I was there yesterday and saw your car there vary nice car sounds awsome too.was wondering what happened on your run.
I went hoping to see more lsx cars than I did.it was like 90% import cars and every 3rd run one breaks and they have to clean the track lol.
